Microsoft has revealed its next batch of Game Pass titles, taking us into the start of May.

Notable additions to this wave include the return of the original Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (Cloud, Console, and PC), which will arrive on 14th May ahead of the forthcoming new-gen remake, and Little Kitty, Big City (Cloud, Console, and PC) coming on 9th May.

This particular release is a day one addition to the service, and will pop players into the shoes - or paws - of a curious cat trying to make its way back home. "Explore the city, make new friends with stray animals, wear delightful hats, and leave more than a little chaos in your wake. After all, isn't that what cats do best?" Xbox asks.

Before that, coming to Game Pass today is Have A Nice Death, a 2D action roguelike that casts players as an overworked Death.

In this game, poor ol' Death is having some issues with his employees. In fact, they have run rampant and as a result the balance of souls is completely out of whack. A scythe of the times, indeed. You can check out a trailer for Have A Nice Death in the video above.

Here is the full list of titles coming to Game Pass in early May.

  • Today, 30th April: Have A Nice Death (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • 2nd May: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • 7th May: Kona 2: Brume (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • 9th May: Little Kitty, Big City (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • 14th May: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (Cloud, Console, and PC)

Also, don't forget that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PC and Xbox Series X S) is available now via EA Play.
