May is here and that means fresh additions for your console.

We don’t often get to see too far ahead in the month for Game Pass reveal announcements, but this month we can confirm 9 titles destined to land over the weeks ahead. The announcements are perhaps part of Xbox’s price restructuring strategy, promising more Day One drops for less.

Mixtape arrives on Wednesday but look out for the highly anticipated Subnautica 2, Forza Horizon 6 (the download size for Forza is reportedly massive, fyi), cozy puzzler Call of the Elder Gods, and the chaotic Crashout Crew at the end of the month.

As always, our monthly Xbox guide is updated weekly, so bookmark and look out for more additions to both Game Pass and the standard game catalog in the coming weeks.

As I write, we’ve also got a checklist of games landing in the Catalog over the first week of May, plus a list of what’s leaving this month too.

See you next week for more!
