Dammit, Microsoft, you were supposed to drop these yesterday! Ugh. A bit of a quiet month, likely due to the upcoming Xbox Showcase on Saturday, though there are plenty of games to chose from this month, including 3 Day 1 titles. Nine games are hitting the platform, with 3 on Premium, 3 on Ultimate, 3 on both, and nada on Essential. Let's see what's in store!
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.
