Upcoming Xbox Game Pass Additions and Possible Delay for Subnautica 2 in May
Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard in 2023 has led to the addition of Call of Duty games to Xbox Game Pass, including day-one releases of Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7 in 2024. Mixtape is presented as a narrative-driven adventure unfolding to the rhythm of music. Uncertainty Surrounds Subnautica 2: Subnautica 2 does not yet have a confirmed release date, and its May launch may be subject to change. Additional Xbox Game Pass Updates: Recent and upcoming additions to Xbox Game Pass include NHL 26, which arrived on April 16, and Sopa, Vampire Crawlers, and Kiln, which were added on April 21. Looking ahead, Dont Nod’s Aphelion and Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era for PC are expected in late April. In 2023, 120 new games were added to the service. Microsoft has not yet announced which titles will be leaving Xbox Game Pass in early April. Given reported disruptions affecting the development team, the possibility of a delay should be considered for Subnautica 2. May promises a diverse range of gaming experiences for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, though the final lineup and release dates are subject to change.
