A new batch of games have been announced for Game Pass in May, including five that are playable on PC. There are siblings, felines, reapers, and a Croft.
I'm struggling to identify a theme. Here are the first batch of games coming to Game Pass on PC in May 2024: Have A Nice Death is a compelling loop of roguelike hack-and-slashing, and Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is the fancified first entry in Crystal Dynamics Lara-rebooting modern trilogy.
The pick of the new litter is clearly Little Kitty, Big City, however, which arrives on Game Pass on its launch day. It's a playful adventure game that prompts YouTube commenters to scream "Untitled Cat Game" during every livestream in which it features, and not without cause. (Disclosure: Pip Warr, former resident of this blog, is the writer of Little Kitty, Big City.
This is simply more of a reason to play it.) As always, a new set of games arriving on Game Pass means another set of games are leaving.
The following games will be removed from the Game Pass library on May 15th: I know people have a fond spot for Norco, which we named as one of our favourites from 2022.
