Doom The Dark Ages headlines Xbox Game Pass in May
Xbox Game Pass continues its consistent 2025 with a mix of high-profile new games and beloved older ones.
Doom: The Dark Ages is the obvious headliner — the third entry in a series of Doom reboots that revitalized the shooter series back in 2016. But don’t sleep on Revenge of the Savage Planet later this week. It’s a colorful and personable sci-fi shooter, and is also one of the rare couch co-op games slated for 2025.
Meanwhile, Dredge — a horror…fishing? game — is a Polygon favorite, ranking in the top half of our list of the best games of 2023, while Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a solid Left 4 Dead clone.
