Summary
- Metaphor: ReFantazio and Spray Paint Simulator are coming to Xbox Game Pass on May 29.
- Metaphor was one of the highest-rated games of 2024 and won multiple awards at The Game Awards 2024.
- Spray Paint Simulator is a new co-op game that will be available on PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate.
On Thursday, May 29, Xbox Game Pass will be adding Game of the Year nominee Metaphor: ReFantazio to its library alongside the brand-new day one co-op game Spray Paint Simulator. Xbox Game Pass subscribers have been eating good as of late, with a steady stream of brand-new, day one games added to the Ultimate tier of the service since January.
One of the most exciting new Xbox Game Pass games came with the addition of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in April. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 released to widespread critical acclaim, with the turn-based RPG from Sandfall Interactive currently standing as the year's highest-rated new release. Clair Obscur is being hailed as a masterpiece, and so being able to play through it in its entirety with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription gives subscribers significant value. In the near future, turn-based RPG fans will have even more to be excited about, as another critically-acclaimed entry in the genre is coming to the service soon.
New Xbox Game Pass Game for May 2025 is a Big Hit
One of the most recent additions to the Xbox Game Pass library is proving to be a big hit with players.
On May 29, Metaphor: ReFantazio will be joining the Xbox Game Pass lineup. But while Clair Obscur is reserved for Ultimate tier subscribers, Metaphor will be part of the Standard tier as well. For those who may be unfamiliar with the game, Metaphor: ReFantazio is a visually-striking JRPG developed by Atlus' Studio Zero. Metaphor reviews even outdid Clair Obscur, with the game earning a 93 overall review score compared to the latter's 92. Metaphor: ReFantazio found itself nominated for multiple awards at The Game Awards 2024, taking home the trophies for Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, and Best Role-Playing Game.

The addition of Metaphor: ReFantazio to the Xbox Game Pass lineup is reason enough to be excited for May 29.
