Xbox just revealed the full April Wave 2 list for Game Pass subscribers and offered an early look at the very first game that will be arriving on the service when May 2026 arrives.
Final Fantasy V Arrives On Game Pass May 5
Continuing a monthly pattern that kicked off in January 2026, Xbox Game Pass is adding another Final Fantasy game at the start of May 2026. The Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy V hits the service May 5 for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, PC Game Pass subscribers.
“When the crystals that balance the world are threatened, the king hastens to the rescue…only to go missing. A young man and his Chocobo find themselves drawn toward friends that will change their destiny in this classic RPG.”
Final Fantasy V was originally released for the Super Famicom in 1992 and never received an official Super Nintendo release. U.S. gamers had to wait years for the game to release as part of the Final Fantasy Anthology collection on PlayStation 1 before they could easily get their hands on it.
