It's easy to say "Buy It", but when you're strapped for cash which games are the best to grab on sale?
Protect humanity, defeat Piglins, confront the supernatural, and take to the ice – all coming soon and playable from the comfort of your gaming setups! (And if you want to stay comfy in your gaming chair, just use the Game Pass mobile app to pre-install the games to your console or PC).
@jerome
So if it’s on GP too close to release it hurts the devs, but 12 months is too old? When should games get added?
@jeromeface - if you've never played the game, does it matter if it came out yesterday or 3 years ago?
@jerome
Thats irrelevant. I base my preferences on what is good not what is old. Sackboy adventure is old but still a good addition to ps plus.
their lineup lately is pretty weird, they have less games than ever per update and more games leave the service
Not even remotely true....
You can keep spreading lies I suppose.
@lightning77 it does actually seem like that. Up until this Activision Blizzard thing started getting a lot of backlash, they were adding like 6 - 8 games every 2 weeks and advertising them like crazy. Now the games seem to trickle in every few weeks, like we get 1, then a week later another, and so fourth. It has changed there is no denying that.
@lab this is only the first half of the month.
The second half will have Minecraft Legends Last Case Of Benedict Fox and several others. That's how its always been. You can't sit there and ignore the slew of games that hit the service sinceJanuary
So no it's lies and misinformation as I said.
@Lightning77 This post has minecraft legends listed, so this is an overview of the entire month. And as I said, they have not done the every 2 week format (first half of the month/second half of the month) all of 2023. I'm sure they will have a few more than this but they have been just kind of trickling games out whenever, and not really even announcing them.
I'm not ignoring the games that have come, I play gamepass all the time, but again, it has definitely slowed down and they definitely changed the format.
It was dry prior to Atomic Heart. Particularly after the MH DLC which personally meant nothing to me. There was a period where newly added games featured mostly Mortal Shell and Metal Hellsinger which were both old GP releases. Even from fall to early 2023 was overrated imo. Games like Scorn and High on Life did not meet the hype and were panned critically and P5 and MH were games that released on PS+ yrs ago or DLC to a game that was on Plus yrs ago. In truth GP was disappointing to me for a while. Particularly considering Starfield, Stalker, Redfall were all delayed and that was the reason i resubbed last yr.
However, since Atomic Heart it has picked up. While broken, i enjoyed AH and though Wo Long wasn't as good as anticipated, it was still solid for GP day 1. Loop Hero is a nice addition and MLB as well. Not sure where Darktide is but GP has indeed been better. No interest in Minecraft and Ghostwire is on PS+ with Dualsense but i'm enjoying GP again.
I have to agree with the drop in quality (but that's always subjective) -- I finally cancelled my subscription.
They've seemingly bailed on the family pc game pass that they were testing out in Ireland, that would have kept me subscribed. They don't even ask why you are cancelling when you cancel, not that they ever read that.
I might be wrong, but didn’t you say how great Ghostwire Tokyo was when it was released?
Looking forward to play the definitive edition of Ghostwire Tokio on my SX!
No.
The day the game releases on Gamepass it will be getting a massive update. PS5 players will be getting it as well.

No, it lacks the Dualsense implementation. So u can argue it's an inferior edition.
It’s okish. Combat isn’t very good . Have fun with the same version that PS has but definitive for you somehow
"Have fun with the same version that PS has but definitive for you somehow"
FYI:
New areas ⛩️
New missions 📖
New powers 🔥
New collectibles 😼
New enemies 👹
New roguelite mode ☠️
Definitely NOT the version that PS5 players has been playing, but whatever makes you sleep at night.
@ Obscure
When you're an xbox fanboy you've got to have something to look forward to.
Obscure_Observer
All that new stuff....that PS5 gets at literally the same time. I understand irrational fanboy spin but you are bragging about getting the game a year later bc it will have a new patch that mind you is available to all platforms.
Like someone on XB or PS bragging bc they had to wait to play Hades simply bc by the time it hits their platform it gets a non exclusive patch. Pathetic.
It's also coming to PS+ so i guess PS gamers got to play the day 1 edition and plus subscribers will also get "the definitive edition". Btw, the deep Dualsense implementation on PS5 kinda makes THAT the definitive edition. In reality, PS got it day 1 and gets the extra bells and whistles through the superior controller. Plus, just like GP it is on plus. Just like Deathloop.
Xbox has seemingly copied the way ps plus extra and Premium are updated, game pass used to have 2 drops a month, now its only one like ps plus.
I like it better that way , just give me all the drops at once no point in spreading them out ..
Hmm Im not sure you are correct about Plus/Extra. I downloaded three new heavy hitters last month. Does it vary?
"Xbox has seemingly copied the way ps plus extra and Premium are updated, game pass used to have 2 drops a month, now its only one like ps plus."
Not true. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly, The Last Case of Benedict Fox and
Homestead will also be available this month.
It’s time to announce the May Games with Gold lineup! On the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, flip and bump your way thru Yoku’s Island Express, and solve mind-bending puzzles in The Inner World – The Last Wind Monk. And for our classic lineup via Backward Compatibility, race across waves in Hydro Thunder Hurricane, and have loads of fun in Viva Piñata Party Animals.
The first VP was pretty fun, never played party animals. Hydro thunder is one of my favorites on the DC and this update was on GwG before but still a fun game for anyone who missed it. Never heard of the other two.
Queue the onslaught of "why do they even bother" comments. While i don't totally disagree that Gold games have been awful, every once in a while one pops on their that I try and end up liking. I mean if you have to pay, why complain about games they give you.
I don’t know why they bother, but on the flip side PS+ is following the same path now that they have Spartacus.
Yeah fifa 22 is just the same as 10/12 year old Xbox 360 games 🙄🤦🏻♂️ 🤣 do people even think about what they are saying let alone actually typing out and pressing add 🥴🤣
@RoweeSon
You’re absolutely right! I don’t know what came over me. I’ll be sure to think before I speak from now on. I appreciate your help with showing me how wrong I am.
@rosweeson
I mean honestly speaking fifa 22 is basically the same as a 10/12 year old 360 game since fifa is basically the same every year.
I think Microsoft is trying to make PsPlus look good with these horrible GWG line up.
They're just trying to get people to move over to GPU for better options. Otherwise, whoever is subscribed just doesn't care about the games and just online stuff.
Basically.
I've said this latest month but GWG is strictly for the casuals who have gold only. Just like you said if you want better options then get Gamepass. GWG is no longer for the hardcore audience anymore.
The ONLY thing bad about gamepass is how Microsoft completely started taking dumps on games with gold ever since. In my opinion (OPINION) PlayStation plus gave better offerings most of the time but there were times where games with gold would win a few FOR ME. Now it’s a landslide. They should put the same effort into games with gold as they do gamespass. Just take the games off, reduce the price, and call it Xbox Live again.

What a surprise, I was just searching for this game. I'm honestly quite surprised by the water physics and definitely looking forward to trying it soon.
loved this game/ still play it. The water and atmosphere where stellar and really fun to interact with.
My people should play Shuggy. Great game.
Also I can't wait for the new Trenched DLC.
