Xbox held an indie games showcase event at the end of last week, during which it announced 22 brand new games that will be added to Game Pass over the coming months.

Headlining the wave of games, including many that will be added from day one of their release, is perhaps S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - the long-awaited sequel to 2007's Shadow of Chernobyl. The FPS RPG from GSC Game World will be exclusive to Windows and Xbox Series X/S, with the latter getting it on Game Pass from launch.

It's not yet clear when that might be as it still seems resonably early in development, but it's looking pretty decent, even in a trailer released last July.

Other games coming to Game Pass include Way to the Woods, Sable and Boyfriend Dungeon.

Some are coming to PC, cloud and console, some just the console. You can see the whole list below.
