Big on the list is Final Fantasy X and its sequel X-2 which are being added on May 13th. It’s a good’un on the long list of fantasies final. “Pro Blitzball player Tidus is minding his own business and being great at sports when a bloody great big thing sends him spiralling into a distant future. Thanks, thing,” Brendy Caldwell (RPS in peace) explained when the remasters came to PC in 2016. “Although what unravels is a fairly standard tale of magic and world-traipsing, it still stands as one of only three FFs I have ever seen through to the end.” My memories of playing FFX on the console box years back are a bit blurry now. I do distinctly recall routinely benching blitzball bro Wakka because I thought using a sports ball as a weapon was dorky. Don’t make that mistake. You’re going to need him leveled for a boss fight that requires you have some non-magical party members. Maybe I owe Wakka a do-over. Anyhow, there are some other good gets this month too. Craft ’em up RPG Dragon Quest Builders 2 is arriving tomorrow, May 4th. Psychonauts, which is one of the best platformers on PC, joins on May 13. Outlast 2 is on the list too for this Thursday, May 6th. As a tradeoff, several games are leaving the service on May 15th. Final Fantasy IX is getting the boot, as are Alan Wake, Hotline Miami, and a few others. You can find the full list of additions and subtractions in Xbox’s post.
