Microsoft has announced its next wave of Game Pass titles for May and into June.

Day one releases with this batch include Monster Train 2, To a T, and Spray Paint Simulator. To a T is a charming looking game from the creator of Katamari Damacy. It follows the story of a teen whose body is stuck in a T-pose, as they navigate life in a small town with their cute dog companion.

Here are the list of Xbox Game Pass additions for late May 2025:

  • Monster Train 2 (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) – available 21st May
  • Creatures of Ava (Xbox Series X/S, now with Game Pass Standard) – available 22nd May
  • Stalker 2 (Xbox Series X/S, now with Game Pass Standard) – available 22nd May
  • Tales of Kenzera: Zau (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass ) EA Play – available 22nd May
  • Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard) – available 27th May
  • To a T (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) – available 28th May
  • Metaphor ReFantazio (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard) – available 29th May
  • Spray Paint Simulator (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) – available 29th May
  • Crypt Custodian (Cloud, Console, and PC via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard) – available 3rd June
  • Symphonia (Cloud, Console, and PC via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard) – available 3rd June

Our Ed has already had some time with To a T, and spoke to its creator Keita Takahashi. “The concept of the character being in a T-pose came from another small game idea I had,” Takahashi told Ed. “I hadn’t linked the T-pose to disability until someone pointed it out in feedback. I was more focused on daily life challenges, which could be categorised as disabilities, but the inspiration was primarily drawn from game design.”

Metaphor ReFantazio is a particular highlight from this batch of incoming Game Pass games. We awarded it five stars on its release, with our Ed saying “what it lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in grandeur and heart,” in Eurogamer’s Metaphor ReFantazio review.

In addition to the above, Game Pass Ultimate members can look forward to more games coming to the Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) library on 23rd May. These are:

  • Brütal Legend
  • Costume Quest 2
  • Day of the Tentacle Remastered
  • Full Throttle Remastered
  • Grim Fandango Remastered
  • Max The Curse of Brotherhood
  • Neon Abyss
  • Quantum Break
  • Rare Replay
  • ScreamRide
  • State of Decay Year-One
  • SteamWorld Dig 2
  • Sunset Overdrive
  • Super Lucky’s Tale
  • Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection

Meanwhile, and as is the case with every new batch of games, the following titles will be leaving Game Pass on 31st May:

  • Cassette Beasts (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Firework (PC)
  • Humanity (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Remnant 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer (Cloud, Console, and PC)

Full details of these Game Pass additions can be found on Xbox Wire. Note that while Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is included in the image as a Standard Tier addition, this has since been removed from the list.

If you want to keep playing these games after they leave Game Pass, you’ll need to purchase them. On the plus side, Game Pass subscribers get a 20 percent discount.
