Xbox announces five more free games coming to consoles

XBOX usually switches up the games on Xbox Games Pass, but May will be an unusual one.

Games often come and go from the service, though it tends to grow every month.

The Tomb Raider reboot is part of the games arriving on Game Pass this month.

May seems to be the outlier as five new games are coming to the service, while eight games are leaving.

Still, there are some plenty of new games to get excited about, alongside the previously announced Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Have a Nice Death.

The Rewinder was a surprise drop at the end of last month that was overshadowed by the Star Wars reveal.

The highlight from May is the original Tomb Raider reboot from 2013.

In April, Xbox added Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the third game in the trilogy, allowing you to see more from the series.

Kona 2: Brume is another game from a series that saw a title added in April.

There is one day one release added in May, in the adorable Little Kitty, Big City.

The month is rounded off by the original Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, which saw a remake this year.

While the remake lets you play in co-op, many people still prefer the original version.
