Xbox has announced the next wave of Game Pass titles for late May and early June, covering console, PC, cloud, and handheld play. The lineup includes Forza Horizon 6, Luna Abyss, Escape Simulator, Kabuto Park, Final Fantasy VI, and Jurassic World Evolution 3, with several European developers strongly represented across the new additions.
Xbox is adding another batch of games to Game Pass in the second half of May and the beginning of June. The biggest name in the announcement is clearly Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 6, which arrives on May 19 for Xbox Series X|S, PC, cloud, and handheld play. It is a strong opening for the new wave, but the rest of the list is not just filler: Microsoft is mixing family games, co-op releases, indie projects, classic JRPG material, and major management titles across multiple subscription tiers.
The new wave is also notable for its European development presence. Playground Games from the United Kingdom leads the list with Forza Horizon 6, while My Friend Peppa Pig is tied to UK publisher Outright Games, Luna Abyss comes from UK studio Bonsai Collective, Escape Simulator is by Croatia’s Pine Studio, Kabuto Park is from French developer Doot, and Jurassic World Evolution 3 comes from the UK’s Frontier Developments. In other words, this is not just a large Game Pass update, but one with a clear European development footprint.
The newly announced Game Pass titles are:
- Forza Horizon 6 – May 19 – Xbox Series X|S, PC, Cloud, Handheld – Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass

- Jurassic World Evolution 3 – June 2 – Xbox Series X|S, PC, Cloud – Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, PC Game Pass
The headline release is obviously Forza Horizon 6, which takes the open-world racing series to Japan, but the rest of the month has more range than a simple one-game update. Escape Simulator brings first-person puzzle rooms that can be played solo or in online co-op, with interactive objects, codes, breakable items, and community-made rooms extending the experience. Kabuto Park offers a lighter bug-collecting structure, Crashout Crew leans into chaotic warehouse co-op, and Luna Abyss brings a darker sci-fi tone to the lineup.
The early June additions give the wave a strong closing stretch. Final Fantasy VI remains one of the defining classics of Japanese role-playing games, returning players to a world shaped by the aftermath of the War of the Magi, while Jurassic World Evolution 3 continues Frontier Developments’ dinosaur park management series. The late-May Xbox Game Pass lineup therefore combines a major first-party draw, European development, day-one releases, and older but still valuable catalog additions.
