Xbox Game Passcontinues to be the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles' biggest selling point more than six months after the next generation began. The subscription service offers a library of games for an affordable price, a point of comparison to the PS5’s $70 exclusives. To keepXbox Game Passimmediately appealing requires a constant stream of new games, though. Xbox continues to deliver on that front even now, with several new additions includingFinal Fantasy 10arriving today.
Five new games, or technically six, are arriving on Xbox Game Pass as of May 13. Those games start withRed Dead Online, the multiplayer half ofRed Dead Redemption 2. The single-playerRed Dead Redemptionwas available in mid-2020, but hasn’t come back after leaving this past August. There’s some speculation thatRed Dead Redemption 2could come back to Xbox Game Pass, too, after someteaser-y language from Melissa McGamePassearlier this year. There’s nothing confirmed yet, however.

The next largest addition has got to be theFinal Fantasy 10andFinal Fantasy 10-2 HDremaster bundle, technically two games rather than just one. The addition marks the continued growing relationship between Xbox and Square Enix. There’s still a lot of work to be done, as many Square Enix games still don’t come to Xbox and others end up as PlayStation exclusives. Bringing lots of great classic Final Fantasy games and other titles to Game Pass is a great start, though.
As for the remaining three new Game Pass additions, there’sPsychonautsto start. Psychonauts will offer Xbox gamers the opportunity to play the 2005 classic ahead of thelaunch ofPsychonauts 2later this year. Next isJust Cause 4: Reloaded, another Square Enix-published game and the latest release in theJust Causefranchise. And lastlyRemnant: From the Ashes, the virally popular action-RPG from Gunfire Games.
