It's the first Tuesday of the month, meaning we're getting another wave of Game Pass titles (a few hours late, thanks, Microsoft). Pretty good month, with all 4 games added to the Ultimate tier being Day 1 titles, a whopping 11 games coming to Premium, and Essential also getting a game to its name. Let's get into it!
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.
