In May 2026, Xbox Game Pass welcomes a wave of new games on Xbox Series consoles, PC and cloud gaming. Discover the titles added to the catalog, the day-one releases, and the must-see updates you won’t want to miss this month.

In April 2026, you could enjoy, for example, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Premium version), Endless Legend 2 (Game Preview), FBC: Firebreak, or Tiny Bookshop.

  • Call of the Elder Gods — May 12, 2026
  • Forza Horizon 6 — May 19, 2026
  • Subnautica 2 — May 2026, with no exact date yet
