Undoubtedly one of the most valuable packages in gaming is Xbox Game Pass, and Microsoft’s continued additions to it keep the fun going. There’s a lovely collection of games on the way in the first half of May, and while one was already teased, there are quite a few others that should be delightful to a variety of fans among the Rockstar Games, JRPG, and sports fan crowds to name a few.

Xbox announced the early May slate for upcoming Game Pass additions in an Xbox Wire press release on May 3, 2021. Throughout the first half of this month, players will see newly added titles like Red Dead Online come to the program for console and Xbox Cloud Gaming, which was recently launched as a standalone entity separate of Red Dead Redemption 2. FIFA 21 and Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster are also on the way alongside the already confirmed Dragon Quest Builders 2 that was announced last week. Everything on Xbox’s new slate will be out by May 13 at the latest.
