In the latest update from Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft is setting the stage for an exciting early May 2024 with a handpicked selection of games to be added to its ever-expanding library. Available across console, PC, and cloud, these new titles underscore the diversity and richness of gaming experiences that Xbox enthusiasts in Canada and beyond can look forward to.
Among the highlights of this batch is “Little Kitty, Big City,” an adorable exploration game that puts players in the paws of a lost kitten navigating the bustling streets of a city to find its way home. Developed by Matt T. Wood, a former Valve designer, this game is anticipated for its heartwarming narrative and immersive exploration dynamics. Another notable addition is the critically acclaimed “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons,” a beautifully crafted story-driven adventure that requires players to guide two brothers on a quest with cooperative gameplay mechanics.
The list of titles arriving in early May starts with “The Rewinder” and “Have A Nice Death” at the end of April, followed closely by “Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition,” offering an enhanced version of the iconic adventure of Lara Croft. “Kona II: Brume,” a sequel to the atmospheric northern Canada mystery adventure, brings its chilling narrative to the service on May 7th. The day-one release of “Little Kitty, Big City” follows on May 9th, promising a unique charm. Lastly, “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons” makes its way to the Game Pass on May 14th, ready to pull at players' heartstrings all over again.
In addition to these new titles, Game Pass subscribers were recently treated to the inclusion of “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor,” further enriching the service's ultimate catalog.
However, as the gaming world gives, it also takes away. Leaving the service on May 15th are several titles across various genres, including “Eastern Exorcist,” “Eiyuden Chronicle Rising,” “Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2,” “Ghostlore,” “Just Cause 4 Reloaded,” “Norco,” “SD Gundam Battle Alliance,” and “Supraland Six Inches Under.” Players immersed in these games may need to wrap up their adventures soon or consider making a purchase. Fortunately, Game Pass subscribers benefit from an exclusive 20 percent discount on any title within the catalog, allowing them to keep their favorite games even after they're removed from the subscription service.
Subscription tiers remain as attractive as ever, with the standard Xbox Game Pass for PC priced at $11.99/month. For gamers looking for the all-in package, Game Pass Ultimate encompasses Game Pass for both Console and PC, online play, EA Play, and Xbox Cloud Gaming for $18.99/month. A more streamlined Game Pass Core option is also available at $11.99/month, offering access to around 25 games.
With this exciting lineup set for early May and the annual Xbox Games Showcase anticipated on June 9th, followed by the enigmatic ‘Redacted Direct’ presentation, Xbox is committed to delivering a robust gaming experience to its Canadian audience and gamers worldwide.
