Every month, Microsoft shares four new games that are added to Xbox Games with Gold, a monthly drop of games for anyone subscribed to Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
With Xbox Live Gold, which is included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, players continue to get four new games every month. The games are often seen as weaker titles when compared to what’s included in the growing Xbox Game Pass library. As shared on Xbox Wire, here’s the four games coming in May 2022:
- Yoku’s Island Express: Available May 1 to 31
- The Inner World – The Last Wind Monk: Available May 16 to June 15
- Hydro Thunder Hurricane: Available May 1 to 15
- Viva Piñata Party Animals: Available May 16 to 31
If you have an active membership, you’ll want to grab your games during the window of time mentioned above for each particular game.
Xbox Game Pass, which is also bundled into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, is by contrast widely seen as a must-own for Xbox players. In addition to a library of third-party titles, Xbox Game Pass gets day one titles from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also includes PC Game Pass, EA Play, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, making it the best option for anyone interested in getting every gaming subscription possible across the Xbox ecosystem.
