Microsoft has revealed the second batch of Xbox Game Pass titles for May 2026, with Forza Horizon 6 leading the month’s lineup. The new additions also include Luna Abyss, Remnant 2, Jurassic World Evolution 3, Final Fantasy VI, and The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition.
The lineup covers several genres, from racing and shooters to management games and classic RPGs. Forza Horizon 6 is the biggest release in the batch, while Luna Abyss joins as a new shooter and Jurassic World Evolution 3 brings dinosaur park management to the service in early June.
The second May batch includes five day one releases, but several major games are also leaving
Several games are also moving between Game Pass tiers. Dead Static Drive, Pigeon Simulator, and Winter Burrow were already available through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, but they are now also being added to Game Pass Premium.

The new batch includes five day one releases when Forza Horizon 6 is counted. That helps balance the number of games leaving the service at the end of the month, though the outgoing list includes some well liked titles.
The five games leaving Game Pass on May 31 are Metaphor: ReFantazio, Against the Storm, Crypt Custodian, Persona 4 Golden, and Spray Paint Simulator.
That makes the end of May a busy period for subscribers. The service is gaining a large mix of new and returning games, but it is also losing several strong titles, especially for RPG and strategy fans. If you have any of the departing games in your backlog, this is the time to check them before they leave the catalog.
