The button-pushers at Microsoft are trigger-happy today: loads of new games are now available to play via Xbox Game Pass ahead of an official announcement.

Eagle-eyed users of ResetEra and Reddit spotted new games ready to install on Xbox One and on PC via the Microsoft Store, and have been working together to create a list of titles added to the subscription service today.

Highlights include Hollow Knight, which you can now install on your devices if you have an Xbox Game Pass:

Shenmue 1+2, which you can also install on your devices if you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription:

And Metro Exodus, although this looks PC-only for now (the Xbox Game Pass for PC just went live).

All in all, it looks like Microsoft is set to announce a major drop of titles of Xbox Game Pass imminently, which will be music to the ears of subscribers. Did someone press a button early? I suspect it won't be long before we find out more - Microsoft's E3 2019 media briefing kicks off at 9pm UK time tonight.
