A new month means a new barrage of entertainment to sit in, watch, or play. Whatever subscription services you have tied to your household, there’s always a fresh new selection of content rolled out monthly. For Xbox Game Pass subscribers, you’re set up with two major monthly waves. Today, we’re finally getting our first wave of game announcements.
It took us to the end of the first week of May, but on the Xbox Wire, Microsoft has confirmed a new barrage of video games heading to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. As a quick reminder, if you’re subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, you’ll find two waves of game additions monthly. The first wave of games will take us to the midway point of the month, whereas the second wave will meet us at the very start of the following month.
