XBOX has officially revealed the second wave of May 2026 titles coming to Game Pass, adding 13 more games to the subscription service over the next few weeks.
And while Wave 2 may not be quite as explosive as the first half of the month — especially with Forza Horizon 6 already dominating headlines — there are still some genuinely strong additions here.
Remnant II Headlines the New Wave
The biggest addition for many players will easily be Remnant II, which officially joins Game Pass on May 20.
The co-op action shooter has built a massive fanbase thanks to its challenging combat, randomized worlds, and Soulslike-inspired gameplay systems.
But honestly?
This wave is surprisingly varied overall.
Players are getting everything from RPGs and simulators to survival adventures and Day One indie launches.
