Xbox Game Pass Gets Another Round Of New Games In June
Overview & Key Takeaways
It's that time of the month once again, as Xbox has announced the second wave of games being added to Game Pass in June. While the first half of the month was pretty stacked in terms of new releases, the latter half of June is taking it easy with four more games arriving, and the first two games of July have also been confirmed. Here's a closer look at what's on the horizon.
Kicking things off today is the release of Junkster, a 3D action platformer that also includes building mechanics. A day-one launch, the game puts you in the mechanical boots of a plucky little construction bot charged with repairing his spaceship and recovering human artifacts. On June 17, Call of Duty: Vanguard comes to Game Pass--it's the World War II-themed entry in the franchise that first launched in 2021.
In case you're wondering what all the fuss is about with that FIFA World Cup tournament, you can try out some soccer action for yourself on June 18 with EA Sports FC 26. While it's not an official FIFA game--the soccer body and EA split up a few years back--it still features official teams, players, and tournaments. To finish off the month, you can dive into Abyssus for a fast-paced roguelite brine-punk adventure on June 25, while RV There Yet combines the best video game title ever with a co-op camping experience. It'll be added to Game Pass on June 30.
Heading into July, Game Pass Premium subscribers can grab Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 starting July 2, and Winds of Arcana: Ruination brings some old-fashioned metroidvania fun to the service starting July 6. As for the games leaving Game Pass, eight titles in total will exit the service on June 30. The list includes fan-favorite Tomb Raider games and the delightful Unpacking.
