Xbox Game Pass subscribers received an immediate boost in late April with the arrival of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and the service’s momentum continues into May. Kicking off the fresh slate on May 22, Monster Train 2 debuted on console, PC, and cloud platforms. This sequel builds on the original’s deck-building roguelite mechanics, offering new cards, enemies, and strategic depth.

On the same day, Standard subscribers got to dive into the open-world creature collector Creatures of Ava, the cinematic action of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and the atmospheric survival shooter Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Meanwhile, Ultimate members gained access to Tales of Kenzera: Zau via EA Play, rounding out a diverse mix of genres.

Major Drops at Month’s End

The service’s lineup expanded further on May 27 with the addition of The Division 2, bringing its endgame content and live-service elements to both Standard and Ultimate tiers. That same day, players got to experience To a T, a quirky, day-one puzzle title from Keita Takahashi, the creative mind behind Katamari Damacy.

Two days later, on May 29, Metaphor ReFantazio arrived—an award-winning turn-based fantasy RPG that captivated critics in 2024 and claimed GameSpot’s Game of the Year. Alongside it, Spray Paint Simulator offered a laid-back, day-one outing that feels like a colorful spin on PowerWash Simulator.
