Microsoft has confirmed the new games coming to Game Pass during the first half of May. The list includes highly anticipated titles such as Forza Horizon 6, the musical adventure Mixtape, and early access to Subnautica 2. Starting today, Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass subscribers can already enjoy Final Fantasy V, a classic Japanese role-playing game joining the catalog.
Technical news and performance in the new wave 🎮
Forza Horizon 6 will arrive optimized for Xbox Series X|S with native 60 fps support and dynamic 4K resolution, leveraging the updated ForzaTech engine. Subnautica 2 in Early Access will use Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen lighting and Nanite shadows, although its performance on consoles is still in the tuning phase. Mixtape, on the other hand, employs a procedural soundscape generation system that adapts music to the player's actions. All titles will include Smart Delivery and cloud saving.
The drama of choosing what to play (again) 😅
And while Microsoft fills us with options, subscribers remain trapped in the same dilemma: adding games to the I'll play someday list while leaving four titles half-finished. The worst part is that Forza Horizon 6 promises to be so addictive that you'll probably forget you also have to explore alien oceans. But don't worry, because for procrastinating, Final Fantasy V will always be there waiting for you with its 30-year-old story.
