Was feeling in the mood to play something on GamePass so decided to hook the Series S back up (it’s probably been an year since I last played Xbox) and play some Replaced, looks like it just got a QOL patch too? I love the sound In this. Only complaint I have is the jumping is sluggish, which is weird for a platformer. I also downloaded A Game About Digging A Hole …. And … did that…I have no opinions on it. Really looking forward to Mixtape in a few days and got FH6 pre installed (120GB). Also … thank fuck controllers haven’t gone up in price.

Replaced soundtrack is amazing I listed to it quite a lot despite not even playing the game yet.

The first wave of new Xbox Game Pass games for May 2026 is a cracker, and includes big titles such as first-party racer Forza Horizon 6, the gorgeous new coming-of-age indie adventure, Mixtape, and the long-awaited Subnautica sequel, Subnautica 2!

In total, 13 titles will join the library of Xbox Game Pass games across Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass over the next two weeks. The Ultimate crowd will have eight games to check out, whereas Premium subscribers will have seven games to dig into.

xbox game pass wave 1 for May

This wave kicks off on May 6 with the following joining across Ultimate and Premium: Ben 10: Power Trip, Descenders Next, Wheel World, Wildgate, and Wuchang Fallen Feathers.

For the Outright Games fans looking for some easy achievements, you'll want to play Ben 10: Power Trip, which has 28 achievements you can unlock in under 20 hours. Wheel World also has a similar completion estimate of 15-20 hours. Descenders Next's base achievement list takes slightly longer to complete (25-30 hours), and it's a damn hard 1,000G —good luck, Premium subscribers! As for Wuchang Fallen Feathers, estimates put the 1,000 Gamerscore at 60-80 hours. Finally, for this bumper day of additions, we have the PvPvE multiplayer shooter Wildgate. Unfortunately for this one, we don't have enough data to give you a completion estimate.

Next up, we have a bunch of new day-one titles joining Game Pass, with the gorgeous musical adventure Mixtape landing in the service on May 7 and the cozy Outbound dropping into Ultimate and PC Game Pass on May 11. This is followed by the "purgatorial card game" Black Jacket and the Lovecraftian narrative puzzle adventure Call of the Elder Gods on May 12.

Going back to some older titles, Elite Dangerous joins Ultimate and Premium on May 12 with its ridiculous achievement list that takes well over 1,000 hours to complete. First-party title Doom: The Dark Ages drops down to the Premium tier on May 14. Premium members, you'll need to set aside 20-25 hours for the completion here.

Finally, we come to Subnautica 2 on May 14 — we're unsure whether this one will have achievements at launch, as it's a Game Preview title — and the long-awaited Forza Horizon 6 on May 19.

Mixtape looks amazing, would have been a 100% play regardless of GamePass. Got a few games I want to complete before jumping into FH6. I think I can knock out Avowed and NG4 in 2 weeks.

Motorslice and subnautica are for me must plays or tries and ofcoure Forza Horizon 6. Still have to play so many like Vampire Crawlers because Hades II was a beast.

Asha announced that Copilot for the Xbox mobile app as well as for Xbox consoles will be shutdown!

God, I'd love for Wildgate to see a huge new wave of interest.  Could've seen stronger success had it gone f2p from the start, but it is what it is.

Just saw that there are mechs in Horizon 6 lol so hyped.

^ yeah That's what Asha said btw

New boot up coming next Wednesday. Sound on!

Why Wednesday?  Update incoming?
