It's the first Tuesday of the month, meaning we're getting more games added to Game Pass! Pretty good month, with 13 games coming to the service (yes, Microsoft, Football Manager counts as one game), with 5 of them as Day 1 titles. No massive AAA release (everyone got spooked by GTA VI), but good variety. The Essential tier is also getting a good number of titles, if a bit older.
Quotes (in italic) taken from the article linked above. Pay attention to the platforms for each game (Cloud, Console, and PC), as some titles won't be available for all of them. Some of the games in the article may have been covered in the previous wave. Games that are part of EA Play are only available to PC and Ultimate subscribers. Games marked as Game Preview are still in active development and this isn't the final version.
