It's the third Tuesday of the month, and despite Xbox's massive announcement yesterday, the wheels of Game Pass must keep turning. 10 games are joining the service this month, 8 of them on the Ultimate tier (one as a Day 1 title), with 6 of those and 2 more on Premium.
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.
