Here are the new games at first glance, their date, and their platform. All thus far are also confirmed forPC Game Pass, minus one.
Xbox Game Pass Games for May 2022 – Citizen Sleeper
Each of these games offers something unique.Citizen Sleeper, for example, is described as a narrative RPG inspired by the choices available in TTRPGs, set in acyberpunk Sci-Fi world. Players take on the role of a Sleeper, a human mind in an artificial body, and must avoid/escape the capitalist overlords that want them back. The game is heavy on storytelling and choices, complete with dice rolling, clocks that track the world and the player’s impact, and drives—not quests. These drives are personal to the player and can impact their skills, all while adopting nothing short of pure roleplaying for its main game direction.
Xbox Game Pass Games for May 2022 – Trek to Yomi
Trek to Yomijoins the same day asCitizen Sleeper. While decision-making and role-playing are the core fundamentals ofCitizen Sleeper,Trek to Yomiis more about presentation and combat. The main character, a samurai named Hiroki, makes a vow to his dying master to protect his home. It seeks to recreate the spirit of classic samurai films, describing its approach as a cinematic presentation, and it’s complete with a streamlined combat system to emphasize the power and style of a samurai. This is not to sayTrek to Yomiwon’t have a good story, but the lens by which players interact with it andCitizen Sleeperare completely different.
