Microsoft has loaded the back half of May with 13 more Game Pass titles, closing out the month's calendar with a Wave 2 announcement that runs from today through June 2 - a stretch that opens with Remnant II hitting the service this morning and finishes with Frontier's Jurassic World Evolution 3 and the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy VI rolling in on the same day.
The headline additions sit at the bookends. Day-one drops are clustered toward late May: Luna Abyss arrives on May 21, Echo Generation 2 lands on May 27, and the double-bill of Crashout Crew and Kabuto Park share a release on May 28 - all going straight into the catalog the moment they go on sale.
The full Wave 2 calendar
Microsoft''s Xbox Wire post organises the additions by tier, with the Ultimate / Premium / PC split mostly tracking what subscribers already expect. The complete list:
- May 20 - Dead Static Drive, My Friend Peppa Pig, Pigeon Simulator, Remnant II, Winter Burrow (Ultimate / Premium / PC)
- May 21 - Luna Abyss (Ultimate / PC, day one)
- May 26 - Escape Simulator (Ultimate / Premium / PC)
- May 27 - Echo Generation 2 (Ultimate / PC, day one); The Outer Worlds: Spacer''s Choice Edition (Ultimate / Premium / PC)
- May 28 - Crashout Crew (Ultimate / PC, day one); Kabuto Park (Ultimate / Premium / PC, day one)
- June 2 - Final Fantasy VI, Jurassic World Evolution 3 (Ultimate / Premium / PC)
Forza Horizon 6, the May 19 mega-launch that anchored Wave 1, sits inside Wave 2''s promo art now that it is officially in the catalog on Ultimate and PC.
Two big subscription pickups on June 2
Jurassic World Evolution 3 is the marquee park-builder, with its full Frontier sandbox - Cretaceous staging, hatchery management, weather systems, and the post-launch Wetlands Pack content - going into Ultimate and Premium on June 2. For a Game Pass slot it lines up neatly with Microsoft''s family-friendly summer messaging: Peppa Pig and Pigeon Simulator on May 20 round out a wave that, in tone, is far broader than the action-heavy April calendar.
Final Fantasy VI being part of the same June 2 drop is the other shoe Square Enix watchers have been waiting on. The Pixel Remaster has been on Steam and console storefronts for several years, but its arrival in Game Pass Premium and Ultimate is the first time it has been available on a Microsoft subscription tier at no extra cost.
On the in-game-benefits side, Microsoft Jewel and World of Tanks: HEAT both get perks added on May 26.
The full announcement is live on Xbox Wire now.
