Microsoft has officially announced its second wave of games hitting Xbox Game Pass in May. The latest blog post includes a handful of new games coming to the service in the following weeks, including the likes of Planet of Lana, Railway Empire 2, Eastern Exorcist, Ghostlore, Cassette Beasts, Massive Chalice, and Chicory: A Colorful Tale. FIFA 23 will be coming to EA Play on May 16, and by proxy, this also means it'll hit the libraries of PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members as well.
Weird West, Shadowrun Trilogy, Ravenlok, Redfall (see our review here) and more were also among the first wave of releases for Game Pass in May. Amnesia: The Bunker was also set to hit Game Pass on Day One of release on May 23, but has since been pushed back a couple of weeks to June 6. You can see the complete list of games that are on Xbox Game Pass this month just below.
