Xbox Game Pass is making four more games available to subscribers, including a day-one launch title and three additions for Core members. Xbox Game Pass Core, which launched in September 2023, replaced Xbox Live Gold and did away with the two free games subscribers received each month. Instead, for the same price, Core offers a catalog of more than 25 games for members to enjoy at their leisure, and the selection of titles changes about two to three times per year.
In addition to the appeal of Xbox Game Pass Core, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers also get access to many titles on launch day. The day one game coming to Game Pass on May 9 is Little Kitty, Big City, an open-world adventure that puts players in the role of an adorable black cat lost in the city. On August 8, subscribers will gain access to SteamWorld Heist 2 on launch day. The turn-based adventure game stars Captain Leeway and his crew as they set out to discover why water has suddenly become deadly.
Before those two releases, though, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can try out Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes when it launches day one on April 23. A role-playing game directed and produced by Suikoden creator Yoshitaka Murayama, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is already getting great reviews, sitting at a “Strong” rating on OpenCritic and “Generally Favorable” on Metacritic at the time of writing. The Suikoden spiritual successor got its start as a Kickstarter project and is being praised for its epic adventure and huge cast of characters that harken back to the days of classic JRPGs.

Xbox Game Pass Core is also adding three games on April 23: Deep Rock Galactic, Superhot: Mind Control Delete, and Wreckfest. These titles have already been part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog, but Wreckfest was removed in May 2022, so fans should be happy to see it making a return to the subscription service.
One of the perks (and downsides, depending on how it’s viewed) of Xbox Game Pass is that the games are regularly removed and replaced with new titles. Alongside Have a Nice Death, the unique and whimsical Soulslike game Another Crab’s Treasure will be launching day one on April 30, but Xbox Game Pass will also be losing six games that same day, including Ravenlok and 7 Days to Die.
Xbox Game Pass members can now play Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition as part of their subscription. This is the first title to reach Microsoft's gaming service in May 2024, as well as the 59th new Xbox Game Pass addition since the turn of the year.

Eight games are leaving Xbox Game Pass on May 15, including Norco, one of the service's highest-rated titles.

In fact, Microsoft just recently pulled the curtain back on four games that will be coming to Xbox Game Pass as part of the May 2024 lineup.
Every month brings new games to the Xbox Game Pass service, with the regularly changing roster in Microsoft's subscription offering plenty of titles for different types of players to enjoy. These can be titles from long-running franchises, indie gems, or titles from Microsoft's first-party studios which are added at no extra cost upon their launch, making Game Pass one of the better deals in gaming.

Microsoft has officially announced the four games that are coming to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service in the first half of May 2024. New games are added to Xbox Game Pass in two waves every month. The first wave typically takes up the first 15 days of the month, while the second wave comes in the back-half of any given month. As expected, Microsoft has now revealed all the games coming in the first wave of new Xbox Game Pass additions for May 2024.
Microsoft has unveiled a slew of new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in the near future and subscribers can look forward to plenty of Day-One releases.

Following the recent ID@Xbox showcase, the company confirmed that the next few months will be packed with some exciting Day-One drops.
The Xbox Game Pass library has expanded to include Have a Nice Death. The stylish and scintillating roguelike is the 17th new title to reach Xbox Game Pass in April 2024.

If a recent rumor is to be believed, it seems that Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is coming to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service at some point later this week. Microsoft has yet to fully unveil all the new Xbox Game Pass games coming in May 2024, but information on that front is expected to come sooner rather than later. In fact, the Xbox Game Pass May 2024 announcement is most likely happening on Tuesday, April 30.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has added Manor Lords to its thriving content library. This is the fifth day-one release on Microsoft's subscription service in April 2024, as well as the 56th title to reach Xbox Game Pass Ultimate since the turn of the year.
