Games with Gold May 2021 free games lineup

The Xbox Game Pass is undoubtedly an amazing subscription service, which includes several Bethesda games. With an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription or Xbox Live Gold, subscribers can get even more free games with the monthly Games with Gold offerings. Microsoft has now revealed the May 2021 Games with Gold free games lineup, and just like with the April 2021 lineup, it is quite the decent batch of freebies.
