Xbox Game Pass Adding Six More Games In May, Including Halo 2 On PC

We're well into May now, and Microsoft has detailed some more games coming to Xbox Game Pass for both PC and Xbox One this month. As usual there's a little crossover between the libraries, but most of it is unique to each platform. Most importantly, however, is that one of the most-acclaimed first-person shooters in history will be playable on PC for the first time, and Xbox Game Pass for PC subscribers get the game for free.

First in the Xbox One announcement, Microsoft reiterated its prior note that Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming on May 7. That date will also add the open-world survival game DayZ. A week later, on May 14, the classic RPG Final Fantasy IX will join the lineup, followed by the indie game Fractured Minds, which explores anxiety and mental health issues, on May 19.

Meanwhile, the PC announcement also shows Final Fantasy IX coming to the service, along with Halo 2 joining the Master Chief Collection, and the 4X strategy game Endless Legend. Both announcements also note that they recently released Moving Out and Streets of Rage 4, in case you missed those.
