Every month, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to a fresh batch of new games. Microsoft has since pulled the curtain back on the new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in the first half of May 2022, which consists of seven titles total. And thanks to previous announcements, subscribers also know of four games coming in the second half of May, bringing the total number to 11 new games and eight day one releases.

Loot River is kicking things off when it comes to the new Xbox Game Pass games for May 2022, available for subscribers to check out now across the cloud, console, and PC. Loot River is a day one Xbox Game Pass game that features dungeon crawling and procedurally generated environments. Early reviews for Loot River have been mostly positive, so it seems to be another solid addition to the Game Pass lineup.
