Here are the games Microsoft is adding to Game Pass in May. You can also check out what games the company added to the service in April. 

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Available to Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard subscribers on May 7.

Charge up your Spirit Bombs to save history in this action roleplaying fighting game. The flow of time has been disrupted, and it’s up to you to make sure history plays out as it was meant to. You’ll create your own custom character with their own abilities, explore Conton City and battle some of the strongest fighters in the universe. Multiplayer servers also hold up to 3,000 players, so there’s always someone new to fight. 

Dungeons of Hinterberg

Available to Game Pass Standard subscribers on May 7.

Game Pass Standard subscribers can play this dungeon-crawling adventure almost a year after Game Pass Ultimate players could. This game combines combat, exploration and elements of social games into a charming and colorful package. You play as Luisa, who left her dead-end job to seek adventure in the regions surrounding the mountain town of Hinterberg. Wield magic, slay monsters, snowboard, make friends and sample delightful Austrian cuisine, like schnitzel and Eismarillenknödel, which is a type of ice cream dumpling filled with apricots that sounds wholly awesome.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn

Available to Game Pass Standard subscribers on May 7.

Game Pass Ultimate players have had access to this action RPG game since July, and now Game Pass Standard do, too. The gods have scarred the world, so it’s up to you and your fox-like companion to take them all down in this game. You play as an elite member of a coalition army who uses melee, gunpowder and magical abilities to fight. If you use your abilities with precise timing in rhythmic battles, you can create deadly combos to take down the most enemies.

Metal Slug Tactics

Available to Game Pass Standard subscribers on May 7.

Game Pass Standard subscribers can play the latest Metal Slug game a few months after it exploded onto Game Pass Ultimate in November. While past Metal Slug entries were filled with side-scrolling action, Metal Slug Tactics is a turn-based tactics game with RPG and roguelike elements. So you’ll be able to upgrade your characters and weapons to conquer the battlefield.

Revenge of the Savage Planet

Available to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers on May 8.

You’ve got no gear, no job and no plan at the start of this satirical sci-fi adventure. Thanks to corporate greed and stupidity, you’ve been abandoned on a planet and have to explore every nook and cranny to survive. You’ll have to use your wits to survive and return to Earth, as well as to get revenge against your former corporate overlord.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed

Available to Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard subscribers on May 8.

The heroes in a halfshell are back in a new adventure. Shipments of mutagenic ooze are arriving in the city, and some new mutants are rising from the mess. They’re not all bad, but you’ve got to find and stop the ones who are evil. You can also help citizens, deliver pizzas and build your own graffiti collection in this game. 

Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Available to Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass Standard subscribers on May 13.

This acclaimed co-op action game is returning to Game Pass more than three years after Microsoft removed it. The Chaos army and Skaven horde are out to crush the Empire, and the only thing standing in their way is you and your friends. Choose between five different characters, like a mercenary and a battle wizard, to fight through hordes of enemies in intense first-person combat. It’s a bloody good time.

Doom: The Dark Ages

Available to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers on May 15.

The wait is almost over. In just a few days, Microsoft will bring the next installment in the storied Doom franchise to Game Pass, and I couldn’t be more excited. This entry takes place before Doom (2016) and follows the Doom Slayer on his battles through a medieval Hell. There’s a shield that doubles as a chainsaw, a gun that grinds up skulls for ammo and a dragon. It’s going to be awesome. If you don’t hear anything from me the day the game comes out, you know where I am.

Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo 

Available to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers on May 16. 

Use your wits, kindness and the occasional whack to gather clues and help the souls of Limbo move on in this papercraft adventure game. As Kulebra, you’ll explore the colorful afterlife and meet some characters who are just as vibrant as the world around you. Some are still dealing with issues of loss or trauma, and it’s up to you to show them a better way forward in this whimsical game.

Firefighting Simulator: The Squad

Available to Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard subscribers on May 20.

Experience what it takes to be part of a firefighting crew in this simulator. You’ll operate digitally rendered Rosenbauer America fire trucks and use authentic firefighting gear from brands like Cairns and MSA. The game’s physics system will make the fires spread and destroy structures in realistic ways.

Police Simulator: Patrol Officers

Available to Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard subscribers on May 20.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the day-to-day life of a police officer, now you can from the comfort of your home. You’ll start as a rookie and give out parking tickets before shouldering more responsibility around the fictional city of Brighton. Keep your eyes open because you might see a crash or other crime unfold right in front of your eyes. 

Some games are leaving Game Pass on May 15

While Microsoft is adding those games to Game Pass in May, the company is removing five others from the service on May 15. So you still have some time to finish your campaign and any sidequests before you have to buy these games separately.
