Xbox Game Pass players go wild for EIGHT new games coming to the service

16th May 2023

XBOX has just announced eight new games coming to Xbox Game Pass.

Arriving between now and the end of May, the list includes a number of games that gamers have been waiting for.

The eight games coming this month.

The best-selling game of 2022 finally makes the list, as FIFA 23 comes to Game Pass.

There is one catch, though: it will only be available for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

Planet of Lana, a 2D take on games like Ico will also be coming to Game Pass the day that it is released.

Cassette Beasts, a recently released 80s take on Pokémon with glowing reviews, is also making its way to the service.

This month’s offerings are also rounded out with some older favourites.

Double Fine’s Massive Chalice is coming this month, taking Psychonauts-style humour to a tactical RPG.

Chicory: A Colorful Tale also received glowing reviews on release, as you save your town by painting it in bright colours.

Here’s all the games coming to Xbox Game Pass this month:

May 16
- FIFA 23 – Ultimate
May 18
- Eastern Exorcist – console and PC
- Ghostlore – console
May 23
- Planet of Lana – console and PC
May 25
- Cassette Beasts – console

As always, new games means that others are leaving.

Luckily, there aren’t many games that people will miss this month, especially as FIFA 21 has been replaced.
