Xbox Game Pass reveals the first wave of games coming to the service in May 2026

Changes are coming to Xbox, and one of the most significant is the price cut for the Xbox Game Pass service. While it’s not a return to what we’re used to, any reduction in our expenses is welcome, and it’s time to see what’s coming in the first half of May 2026. Among the highlights, we have Forza Horizon 6, which will take us at full speed to Japan. The tranquility of cruising through the countryside in a pickup truck in Outbound, or once again unleashing the power and violence of the Doom Slayer in Doom: The Dark Ages.
