Xbox Game Pass Standard Grows As Microsoft Adds Three Recent Releases To The Library

Update []: Microsoft has now removed Hellblade 2 from its Xbox Game Pass Standard roundup, as it was seemingly announced in error. We've amended the post down below and removed its inclusion.


Original Story: Earlier today we brought you folks the latest Xbox Game Pass update from Microsoft - but that was for the main XGP library; let's not forget about Game Pass Standard here too. Yep, Microsoft's mid-tier subscription service has added two games today, and these are some pretty major additions for one of the team's cheaper options.

Both of these titles launched within the last year, and they can now be enjoyed by XGP Standard players. Here's what you can get stuck into on the service from May 22:

Creatures of Ava (Xbox Series X|S)

"Let your empathy guide you as you play an exciting action-adventure, creature-saver game. Understand and tame the creatures of Ava and let them lead you through a variety of ecosystems – all in the hopes of saving the planet from a life-consuming infection."

Stalker 2 (Xbox Series X|S)

"Discover the vast Chornobyl Exclusion Zone full of dangerous enemies, deadly anomalies and powerful artifacts. Unveil your own epic story as you make your way to the Heart of Chornobyl. Make your choices wisely, as they will determine your fate in the end."
