June 19, 2019: Microsoft confirmed that it's adding Resident Evil Revelations, Rare Replay, and Goat Simulator to Xbox Game Pass on consoles, and Torment: Tides of Numenera to Xbox Game Pass for PC. All of these games will be added either on June 20 or June 27.
Microsoft just added a slew of incredible games like Batman: Arkham Knight and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection to Xbox Game Pass, but more are on the horizon. According to a report by TrueAchievements, Die for Valhalla!, Dying Light, and Torment: Tides of Numenera are heading to the service.
While Die for Valhalla! is a smaller, beat 'em up experience, Dying Light and Torment: Tides of Numenera are heavy-hitters. Dying Light can be seen as the spiritual successor to Mirror's Edge because it features a similar parkour system, but instead of futuristic enemies, you have hordes of the undead.
Torment: Tides of Numenera is the spiritual successor to Planetscape: Torment and was developed by Microsoft's own inXile Entertainment. In many ways it looks like Pillars of Eternity, but features even deeper choices. You can go through the entire game without killing anyone if you choose the right class and invest in the right skills.
It's unclear when these games will be announced for Xbox Game Pass, but it'll most likely be in July. Given the fact that Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition and some other games are leaving the service in June, these titles should help fill the void the others leave behind.
