Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate are bolstered with new Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PC every month and usually every week as well. The library is large and there is constantly games coming and going out, which makes it challenging to keep track of what has been added recently and what’s heading out the door. And of course, any given month many of the games added are of lesser-known variety, making it doubly challenging to know what newly added games to play. To this end, we’ve gathered five games added the last couple of months that are worth checking out.
