    Games being added next month:
    June 1st
    Disneyland Adventures
    Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
    MotoGP 17
    The Technomancer
    Wasteland 2: Director's Cut
    Other date
    Next Up Hero(will be added on release date).

    Xbox Wire also says at the end of the paragraph listing the games
    And be sure to keep an eye out for more awesome game announcements coming soon.
    So there might be something else around E3 maybe?
    I would say that there will be something around E3. They have removed 25 games this month and to only add 6 has people annoyed. So I would say that they would announce something

    The majority of what they are removing seem to be 360 games so maybe they are planning something big for back compat with game pass.

    And just to add, these will all be added immediately on release date, whenever that may be:

    Halo Infinite
    Crackdown 3
    Sea of Thieves DLC
    Forza Horizon 4
    Afterparty
    Warhammer Vermintide II
    Bomber Crew
    Ashen
    Battletoads
    Gears of War 5

    With Halo:MCC coming soon.

    Game pass is coming across as ludicrously good value!

    Yeah, I wasn't convinced when it first came out, thought that it would be great as a catch up service, but not for me.

    Now? I jumped on the 6 month deal on Amazon.

    I presume I can just sit on the half price code from smyths until next year when the games start coming out? There's no expiry date or anything is there?

    Anywhere cheaper than smyths for game pass? I wonder would now be a good time to buy save for few months time

    Seriously? €30 in Smyths for 6 months is amazing value. You could wait for another offer with amazon and save a couple of euro at most or watch it all go up in price as the demand increases after E3.

    It stacks so buy it away :)

    It just pops up on the screen, and is stored on your amazon account somewhere too.

    I have both, love a good RTS. I would jump to HW2 because it looks and plays very well and it is now in 4K and HDR. That being said the story in HW1 is better I think.

    If you plan to play competitively then there is a steep enough learning curve but it can be great. I played quite a bit of 3v3 ranked.

    I really enjoyed playing through both, but HW1 is fugly in parts, even though it's been updated.

    No, you own it outright. Have you redeemed the code on the relevant amount rather then just purchased it?

    Thanks a mill for the reply Eagerbeaver, I haven’t a notion, above is what I bought and boys input the code & installed but it doesn’t appear to work.

    Edit : thanks everyone for the replies I appreciate the help.

    If you go through the Xbox, or Xbox/Microsoft website to "redeem a code" it should work and you'll have access to the game. If that doesn't work, there's a problem with the code and you should go back to cdkeys.
