This month\u2019s highlight is undoubtedly Metaphor: ReFantazio<\/strong><\/a>, the much-anticipated fantasy RPG from Atlus\u2019 Persona team<\/strong>, set to arrive May 29. But it\u2019s not coming alone. May\u2019s second wave is bringing a diverse and stacked roster<\/strong> of games, with something for nearly every kind of player.<\/p>\n

Xbox Game Pass \u2013 May 2025 Wave 2 Additions:<\/h3>\n

    Looking Back: A Strong Start to May<\/h3>\n

    \"Revenge\"Revenge<\/p>\n

    The first half of the month already saw impressive additions like Revenge of the Savage Planet<\/strong>, the surprise return of Warhammer: Vermintide 2<\/strong>, and 2023 indie darling Dredge<\/strong>. April\u2019s lineup wasn\u2019t light either, with South of Midnight<\/em> and the shadow-dropped Oblivion Remastered<\/em> landing on Game Pass to strong player response.<\/p>\n

    All of this comes as Microsoft faces mounting scrutiny for its business ties to the Israeli military<\/strong>, sparking criticism and calls for a boycott from some corners of the gaming community. While Game Pass continues to offer undeniable value, this growing controversy has become impossible to ignore for many players.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
