Xbox Game Pass: Wave Two games for May 2023 revealed

Xbox Game Pass is getting a handful of new additions in May 2023, with the second wave of monthly content bringing FIFA 23, Chicory: A Colorful Tale, and one of the year’s most underrated, under-the-radar gems, Cassette Beasts.

While Cassette Beasts is available on Xbox Game Pass for PC, the game will hit Xbox consoles shortly – and everyone should hop in to check it out. It’s a monster-hunting adventure in the vein of classic Pokemon games, littered with twists that make it stand in its own right. From its odd monster-transforming mechanics, and the appearance of post-apocalyptic angels, it’s determined to be strange. That’s what makes its adventuring feel so fresh and fun.

Here’s the rest of the games landing on the subscription platform in the coming weeks.
