Of course,Xbox Game Passdidn’t earn its reputation as the best value in gaming by resting on its laurels. These titles may be the only ones confirmed for now, but there’s never any ruling out a shadow drop. And of course, Xbox Game Pass will confirm Wave 2 in the coming weeks.

Redfall, Ravenlok, andFugawere all previously confirmed by Xbox Game Pass. The two new additions areWeird West Definitive Editionon the Xbox Series X andShadowrunTrilogy on the PC, releasing May 8 and May 9 respectively. It should be noted thatWeird Westis already available on Xbox Game Pass, but this Definitive Edition is a fresh announcement likely including major improvements for the Xbox Series X/S. Furthermore,Shadowrun Trilogyis also already on Xbox Game Pass, but just the Cloud and Console versions, so PC players will be able to dive on May 9.

Of course, the critical reception of it is not going as well as many would like, though this may depend on personal taste. As we wrote in ourRedfallreview, “players are in for a fun time killing vampires, but little more than that can be said about the otherwise shallow experience.”
