The games coming to Xbox Game Pass before the end of May
Xbox Game Pass adds more than 10 games in May 2026, with Forza Horizon 6 leading the way. Know the complete list and which ones come out of the catalog.
May is a generous month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Microsoft confirmed more than ten new titles before the month is out, with Forza Horizon 6 topping the list since May 19. If you have an active subscription, this is one of the strongest months of the year in terms of variety and quality.
Forza Horizon 6 and the games now available on Game Pass
Forza Horizon 6 is the flagship release of May and arrived on the service on the same day as its launch, available on the cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC and compatible portable devices. This is one of the most ambitious racing games in recent years, with more than 550 cars and an open world set in Japan, ranging from urban circuits to rural landscapes.
The proposal is clear: progress until you become a “Horizon Legend”, with events, tests and competitions that escalate in difficulty. For any driving game fan, this alone justifies the monthly subscription.
Since May 20, the following have also been added to the catalogue:
Remnant II, Escape Simulator and the most anticipated titles of the fortnight?
Among the games confirmed for the next few days of the month, Remnant II is probably the most anticipated. This third-person action shooter with roguelike elements already proved to be a success at launch, and now comes to Game Pass with all its expansions available for cloud, console and PC players.
What makes Remnant II special is its replayability. Each game generates different worlds, and the cooperative system for up to 3 players makes it an ideal option to play with friends.
Also confirmed for before May 31:
What games are leaving the catalog and what is coming in June?
The key here is that Game Pass not only adds, it also takes away. On May 31, five titles leave the service that should be played before they disappear:
And for those who are already thinking about June, Microsoft announced two additions on June 2: Final Fantasy VI, the legendary Square Enix RPG that was never on Game Pass, and Jurassic World Evolution 3, the new installment of the dinosaur park simulator. Both will be available for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass.
When do the new games arrive on Xbox Game Pass in May 2026? The new titles were added in two main batches: on May 19 with Forza Horizon 6, and from May 20 with more than ten additional games. Some have specific dates within the month, as confirmed by Microsoft on its official blog.
What Xbox Game Pass plan do I need to play Forza Horizon 6? Forza Horizon 6 is available for plans that include console and cloud: Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass Premium are the options that cover all platforms. PC Game Pass also allows you to access the game from a computer.
What are the best games coming to Game Pass in May 2026? The most notable are Forza Horizon 6 (open world racing in Japan), Remnant II (third-person roguelike shooter), The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (sci-fi RPG) and Escape Simulator (cooperative puzzles). All available before May 31.
May leaves a solid catalog in Game Pass, with options for almost any type of player. If you have any of the titles that come out on the 31st pending on your list, this is the time to press play.
