Microsoft has revealed the lineup of games available to Xbox Live Gold subscribers for May 2018.
First on the list is Super Mega Baseball 2 for the Xbox One, which releases on May 1 and will be available for Xbox Live Gold subscribers. Super Mega Baseball 2, developed by Metalhead and will be a more “sophisticated baseball simulation” compared to its predecessor and is designed for “baseball purists.” Metalhead also reassured fans that Super Mega Baseball 2, will retain the “pick-up-and-play” feature that made the first game famous. Super Mega Baseball 2 will be free to all Xbox Live Gold subscribers for the entire month of May.
Next up on the roster is Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for the Xbox One, which serves as the final game in the franchise by creator Hideo Kojima.
