Xbox Game Pass - The end of May program with Hellblade II

Now that the program of additions to the Xbox Game Pass for the first half of May has passed, it's time for Xbox to unveil the second half... And a little more since the Redmond company plans a dozen additions, including two scheduled for June 4th. Let's go, let's take a look at these games that will soon join Microsoft's subscription service. Sports, life simulation, puzzle, survival, action-RPG, etc., there will be something for almost every taste.

Chants of Sennaar

A true gem released in 2023, Chants of Sennaar is an adventure and puzzle game by Rundisc, an independent French studio. The title uses the myth of the Tower of Babel to give substance to its universe, encouraging players to restore the link between the different peoples of the Tower of Sennaar. Awarded at the Pégases 2024, the title is set to arrive on May 15 in the Xbox Game Pass. Whether you're playing on PC, console, or via the Cloud, you'll have no excuse not to discover it.

EA Sports NHL 24

Your Quill home already indicated the integration of EA Sports NHL 24 into the Xbox Game Pass via EA Play on April 20. This time, starting May 16, you can also enjoy it via the Cloud to play virtual hockey wherever you might be.

Immortals of Aveum

Available since last August, Immortals of Aveum will not wait to celebrate its first birthday to join EA Play, Electronic Arts' subscription service. As this is integrated into the Ultimate formula of the Xbox Game Pass, all subscribers will be able to play it starting May 16. It will be accessible on PC and Xbox Series X|S, but also via the Cloud. You will be able to play as Jak and see what a magic-based FPS looks like.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II

This is the big Xbox release for the month of May. Senua's Saga: Hellblade II will arrive on our PCs and Xbox Series X|S on the 21st and will be available the same day on Xbox Game Pass. This will also allow it to be played via the Cloud. This direct sequel will still focus on a brutal journey that will require surviving the darkness, both those surrounding our character and those within. Be warned, according to early media, you can expect quite a visual slap!

Galacticare

If you break down the name of the game, you get some serious clues about its content. Galacticare is born from the contraction of “Galactic” and “Care”, meaning “galactic” and “care”. Indeed, unsurprisingly, the principle of the game is to manage an interstellar healthcare company. With its Two Point Hospital aspect, the title will require building hospitals and saving alien species that come for treatment starting May 23. Of course, there will be a whole management aspect not to be neglected. It will be available via Xbox Game Pass from the day of release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Cloud.

Hauntii

The same day, May 23, another title will be released and will directly join the Xbox Game Pass (PC, console, and Cloud). It is Hauntii, a game with a notable artistic direction. It requires embodying a ghost described as courageous but naive, who has the ability to haunt both the population and the environment. Note: the soundtrack is signed by Michael Kirby Ward.

Humanity

Among the games not to be missed in the Xbox Game Pass, the action and puzzle game Humanity is clearly at the top of the list. With several nominations and rave reviews from the press, the title is definitely worth discovering. Available from May 30 in the Xbox Game Pass (PC, console, and Cloud), it requires embodying a Shiba Inu who must guide brainless humans to the goal. Be careful, not only are there 90 increasingly difficult stages to overcome, but there are also thousands of puzzles available thanks to community support.

Lords of the Fallen

With its name identical to the 2014 game, Lords of the Fallen might create some confusion within the community. However, this title developed by Hexworks Studio for CI Games is indeed a spiritual successor that also initiates the reboot of the franchise. It is an action-RPG released last October that now includes a roguelike component since the deployment of the Master of Fate update. In short, if you missed it, it will be time to catch up from May 30, the day the game is added to the Xbox Game Pass (PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Cloud).

Firework

PC players, rejoice, Firework will join the PC Game Pass starting June 4. You will play as a rookie cop who will be brought to investigate a massacre case that had been closed. Indeed, following an accidental fire during a funeral, it needs to be re-examined. Imagine that you will go from surprise to surprise...

Rolling Hills

Also on June 4, another title will be added to the subscription service. Accessible on PC, console, and via the Cloud, Rolling Hills will require placing yourself in the circuits of a robot to serve sushi in a restaurant. Of course, you will need to buy the necessary ingredients to prepare the dishes, ensure customer satisfaction, and, when money allows, improve your business.
