Games With Gold
Before going to see the Game Pass agenda, for once, we can be delighted with the Games With Gold program for this month of May, since one of the games offered is one of the most original and most successful that the platformer has given us in recent years. Yoku’s Island Express, since it’s about him, indeed brilliantly mixes the classic platformer with elements of Metroidvania à la Ori – especially since it takes place in a shimmering forest – with the game of … pinball! You have to try it to understand the little stroke of game design genius that is this game, and that’s good since it is offered to you as part of the Games With Gold (or with the Game Pass Ultimate subscription, we remind you). The full schedule for the month is as follows:
- Hydro Thunder Hurricane (Xbox 360), downloadable from 1is on May 15.
- Yoku’s Island Express, downloadable throughout May
- Viva Piñata Party Animals (Xbox 360), downloadable May 16-31
- The Inner World, downloadable from May 16 to June 15
Game Pass
Is this a reaction to the very imminent arrival of the new version of PlayStation Plus? In any case, the Game Pass catalog bets on Day One for its May program, with in particular the rather anticipated Trek To Yomi, which squints towards Ghost of Tsushima’s Kurosawa Mode, but also the latest addition to the Sniper Elite franchise, which arrives as soon as it is released on the service. We also recall that NBA2K22 landed by surprise a few hours ago on the Game Pass.
The games of the month already announced are as follows:
- Loot River – 3 mai (Console)
- Citizen Sleeper – 5 mai (Console)
- Trek to Yomi – 5 mai (Console, PC)
- Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising – 10 mai (Console, PC)
- Hardspace: Shipbreaker – 24 mai (PC)
- Sniper Elite 5 – 26 mai (Console, PC)
- Pac-Man Museum+ – 27 mai (Console, PC)
A next wave of games will be announced later this month, we’ll keep this list updated as soon as possible! Check back to this article from time to time…
