As we always do around this time of the month, we’re taking an early look today at what’s ahead for May 2026’s Xbox Game Pass selection, with four games currently scheduled to arrive next month.
One of those is the absolutely massive release that is Forza Horizon 6; Xbox’s first major AAA release of the year. We’ve also got the long-awaited Subnautica 2 planned to launch at some point next month – although we must add that that one’s not been dated yet and could easily be pushed to later in the year or beyond.
Before we further detail these four games down below, we want to remind folks that there are still more games to come from April’s lineup as well (including Hades 2 and lots more besides), and additional games will be added to this and next month’s selection as Microsoft reveals them.
Without further ado, here’s what’s confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in May 2026 so far:
