Microsoft today announced what games are coming to its Xbox Game Pass subscription program in May, which includes eight new additions in total. There are quite a few hits included in this upcoming list, such as Bethesda's Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and Paradox Interactive's Surviving Mars.
Here are all of the games heading to the service next month as well as their arrival dates:

There's a good chance Microsoft will have more games to reveal in May, considering the new game arrivals stop halfway through the month.
Offering access to over 100 games, the Xbox Game Pass subscription normally costs $9.99 per month. However, Microsoft is currently offering three months of service for a single dollar to anyone who's currently not subscribed.
The company is also planning to introduce a new "Ultimate" subscription service later this year that will combine Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass for $14.99 per month.
