Xbox Game Pass is starting May with a bang! Subscribers are being treated to a diverse selection of games, including the highly anticipated addition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But the excitement doesn't stop there, as Anno 1800, the popular strategy sim, and the remastered version of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion also join the service, offering something for every type of gamer.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 drops players into an unprecedented global conflict and features the return of the iconic Operators of Task Force 141. Subscribers can now experience the fast-paced, smooth gunplay that the series is known for. The game's multiplayer ensures a great experience.
For those who prefer a more strategic experience, Anno 1800 offers a deep dive into the Industrial Revolution. Explore new technologies, build a new world. Players will get to experience rapidly changing periods of history.
But the most intriguing addition this is a return to the past. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has sneaked its way to the game pass, after a long wait from fans. Improvements include better enemy scaling, more autosave points and modifications to noncombat perks.
So, which should you play? Oblivion is a better choice for people looking for an open-world adventure where you can wander around and do whatever you want in whatever order you like. If you enjoyed the original Oblivion, are a fan of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim or like high-fantasy settings like Game of Thrones or The Wheel of Time series, give this game a try. But if you're looking for a polished experience that tells a more emotional story, it might not be the best option.
With such a diverse lineup, Xbox Game Pass is proving its value once again. Whether you're a fan of fast-paced shooters, intricate strategy games, or open-world RPGs, there's something new to discover. This May update is a major win for subscribers and positions Game Pass as a leading force.
