Microsoft has announced its next wave of Game Pass titles for May and into June.
Day one releases with this batch include Monster Train 2, To a T, and Spray Paint Simulator. To a T is a charming looking game from the creator of Katamari Damacy. It follows the story of a teen whose body is stuck in a T-pose, as they navigate life in a small town with their cute dog companion.

Our Ed has already had some time with To a T, and spoke to its creator Keita Takahashi. “The concept of the character being in a T-pose came from another small game idea I had,” Takahashi told Ed. “I hadn’t linked the T-pose to disability until someone pointed it out in feedback. I was more focused on daily life challenges, which could be categorised as disabilities, but the inspiration was primarily drawn from game design.”
Metaphor ReFantazio is a particular highlight from this batch of incoming Game Pass games. We awarded it five stars on its release, with our Ed saying “what it lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in grandeur and heart,” in Eurogamer’s Metaphor ReFantazio review.
