Xbox Game Pass May 2025 Lineup Unveiled

Microsoft has unveiled the first wave of its Xbox Game Pass lineup for May 2025. The gaming giant announced 12 new titles coming to the subscription service through May 20, headlined by the highly anticipated Doom: The Dark Ages from id Software.

What's New in Game Pass This Week?

Available right now (May 6) is the eerie fishing adventure Dredge, which brings its atmospheric open-world gameplay to Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S platforms. This isn't your typical fishing simulator - there's something deeply unsettling beneath these tranquil waters.

Thursday's Big Releases

May 7 brings four major additions:

• Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 - The popular anime fighter joins all platforms
• Dungeons of Hinterberg - A console-exclusive dungeon crawler
• Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn - An action-packed fantasy shooter
• Metal Slug Tactics - The classic run-and-gun series gets a tactical makeover

Day One Releases You Shouldn't Miss

Two notable day-one launches arrive on May 8:

Revenge of the Savage Planet delivers a darkly comedic space adventure where you'll avenge your corporate firing in the most spectacular way possible. Meanwhile, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed brings the Heroes in a Half Shell back for another high-energy beat-em-up experience.

The Main Event: Doom Returns

On May 15, Doom: The Dark Ages makes its brutal debut, taking players back to the Slayer's medieval origins. This prequel promises the same relentless action that made the reboot series famous, now with a grimy, dark fantasy aesthetic.

Completing the May Lineup

The wave concludes on May 20 with two simulation titles: Firefighting Simulator and Police Simulator, perfect for gamers who prefer methodical gameplay over demon-slaying mayhem.
