Xbox Game Pass May 2025 Wave 1 Lineup Revealed

Microsoft has officially unveiled Wave 1 of the Xbox Game Pass lineup for May 2025, showcasing an impressive array of 12 new titles available up to May 20. The spotlight is firmly on Doom: The Dark Ages, the latest installment in id Software's iconic first-person shooter series, set to launch day-one on Game Pass on May 15. As a Microsoft-owned title, it's a significant addition to the service.

Starting today, May 6, players can dive into Dredge (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S), available on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard. Microsoft describes Dredge as "a single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent. Sell your catch, upgrade your boat, and dredge the depths for long-buried secrets. Explore a mysterious archipelago and discover why some things are best left forgotten."

On May 7, Game Pass subscribers are in for a treat with multiple new additions:

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC) on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard.
Dungeons of Hinterberg (Console), now on Game Pass Standard.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn (Xbox Series X|S), now on Game Pass Standard.
Metal Slug Tactics (Console), now on Game Pass Standard.

May 8 brings two exciting day-one titles:

Revenge of the Savage Planet (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Microsoft teases: "In a future knocked off its axis by corporate greed and stupidity, you have been made redundant and abandoned on the far edge of space with little gear and no safety net. You must explore every nook and cranny, collect dozens of upgrades, and turn over every mysterious alien rock if you want to get revenge on your former employer and return to Earth."
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed (Cloud, Console, and PC) on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard. Players can "Join the legendary Turtle brothers straight from the sewer and slide into this new adventure of shell-shocking proportions. With the help of April’s insightful reports from the streets and Splinter’s sage guidance, gear up to fight crime and unravel an epic saga of justice and chaos!"

On May 13, subscribers can enjoy the return of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 (Cloud and Console) on Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass Standard. Microsoft notes: "Making a return to the Game Pass library! Fight together with your friends against the forces of Chaos and Skaven in this epic 4-player co-op game set in the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world. Vermintide 2 expands the intense first-person combat with a brand-new enemy faction, 15 new career paths, talent trees, new weapons, an improved loot system, and more."

The main event, Doom: The Dark Ages (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S), arrives on May 15 as a day-one launch on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Microsoft describes it as "the prequel to the critically acclaimed Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal that tells an epic cinematic story worthy of the Doom Slayer’s legend. In this third installment of the modern Doom series, players will step into the blood-stained boots of the Doom Slayer, in this never-before-seen dark and sinister medieval war against Hell. Get a head start on slaying demons with the Premium Upgrade, including up to 2-Day Early Access, the campaign DLC at launch, and more."

A day later, on May 16, Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo (Cloud, Console, and PC) launches on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass as another day-one title. Microsoft describes it as "a papercraft adventure game where you’ll meet the many good and not-so-good folks of Limbo, a place where souls with deep regrets are cursed into repeating the same day on a loop."

Finally, on May 20, the lineup concludes with Firefighting Simulator: The Squad (Cloud, Console, and PC) and Police Simulator: Patrol Officers (Cloud, Console, and PC), both available across Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard.
