On Thursday, May 2,Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition returns to Game Pass for cloud, console, and PC. This re-release of Tomb Raider has been optimized and features improved gameplay elements and upgraded visuals, Lara looks crisper, and thanks to AMD's TressFX technology, her hair looks more realistic as does the fur on animals she encounters. Even her gear was given a pass and now responds to her movements. Plus, the game comes with all available downloadable content.

May 7 will see the release of Kona 2: Brume for cloud, console, and PC. Continuing the interactive tale of Kona, this title offers a first-person narrative experience set in 1970 and has you exploring the rustic setting of a rural mining village in Northern Canada. Here, you will work to uncover the mystery of the bizarre mist – the brume – that has engulfed the region while you fight your way through the village - or what's left of it. Search for clues in wooden shacks, visit nearby locations on your trusty dog sled, and navigate the surrounding lakes as you put your detective skills to the test.

Available on day one with Game Pass on May 9 is Little Kitty, Big City. Coming to cloud, console, and PC, this open-world game has you playing as a curious little kitty with a big personality. While trying to find your way back home, as the adorable furball, you will have all sorts of adventures in the city as you make new friends with stray animals, wear fun hats, and make a little chaos along the way. (It’s also coming to Switch.)

Returning to Game Pass on May 14 for cloud, console, and PC is Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The critically acclaimed and award-winning classic has you guide two brothers on a journey where you will solve puzzles, explore varied locations, and fight boss battles, controlling one brother with each thumb stick.
