In what’s now become a bimonthly event, Microsoft is revealing the next wave of free games to be available as part of the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Filling out the final days of May and the first week of June will be eight new game additions to Game Pass, including two brand new launch titles. Headlining the upcoming Game Pass additions isMetal Gear Survive, Konami’s odd standalone survival game spin-off. There’s plenty more beyond that, though.
After Metal Gear Survive, the most exciting new Game Pass titles are likelyDead by Daylight,The Banner Sagaand its sequel, andSuperhot.Dead by Daylightis an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game where players either take on the role of survivors or a killer, featuring horror movie icons like Freddy, Michael Myers, and soonScream’s Ghostface.The Banner Sagais an epic fantasy series of brutal strategy games, a perfect series to jump into withGame of Thronesending. AndSuperhotshould need no introduction, an FPS with time-bending mechanics and fast-paced action that would makeJohn Wickblush.
Filling out the line-up are three exciting indie games, two of which will be launching as part of Game Pass.Void Bastardsis made by Blue Manchu Games, from one of the co-founders ofBioShockdeveloper Irrational. It’s dubbed a “strategy shooter,” mixing gunplay with careful planning and progression. The other new game,Outer Wilds(not to be confused withObsidian’sOuter Worlds) lets players explore a puzzle box of a solar system. Finally, there’sFull Metal Furiesfrom the developers ofRogue Legacy. This co-op action-RPG should round out the already diverse line-up of Game Pass additions perfectly.
Here’s the latest Game Pass line-up update in full, with each game’s release date on the service noted:
Game Pass in May 2019already received over eight new games, but Microsoft’s expansion of the subscription service is ever-growing. Now-available games includeWolfenstein 2,Surviving Mars,Wargroove,Lords of the Fallenand more.
