April saw the arrival of some of the best Xbox One games out there, including Quantum Break and Dark Souls 3, with Tales from the Borderlands and Hitman: Episode 2 coming hot on their heels. Now, the month of May has a lot in store for gamers everywhere, and the roster is arguably on par or even better in terms of anticipation.
Without dragging on any further, here are some of the Xbox One games for May 2016 that fans wouldn't want to miss:

Release Date: May 3
Fallout 4: Far Harbor
Dubbed as the "largest landmass for an add-on," Far Harbor is the third DLC following Automatron and Wasteland Workshop for Fallout 4. Though it's technically more of a DLC than a full game, it deserves to be included in the mix, as it's one of the most anticipated releases this year.

Season Pass: Available as part of the $49.99 Season Pass that includes Automatron and Wasteland Workshop.
Tropico 5 - Penultimate Edition

Release Date: May 24
Preorder: Available for $49.99 at Amazon.
