June’s Xbox Game Pass Offerings Aren’t As Great As April Or May’s
Previous Months Offered Players Games Like Clair Obscur & Doom: The Dark Ages
Compared to previous months, specifically April and May, the Game Pass offerings in June aren’t as great. This month’s most notable additions are the aforementionedThe AltersandFBC: Firebreak. Both titles are day-one additions, meaning they both arrive in the catalog on the same day as their official release date.The Alters’ release on Xbox Game Passis especially exciting, as it offers players an innovative approach to the survival genre in a sci-fi setting.As good as this game is, it pales in comparison to a few of the most recent additions.
Later Months In 2025 Should Be Big Wins For Game Pass
Subscribers Will Have Access To The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, & More
Although the current month seems underwhelming when considering the games that came in previous months, this is by no means a bump in the road. During the later months of 2025, players can expect grand new additions to the catalog, many of which are day-one releases. Therelease ofThe Outer Worlds 2in October will be resounding, as it will also be a day-one addition to Xbox Game Pass.Call of Duty: Black Ops 7will also be released later this year, and because it’s an Xbox IP, it should be added to Game Pass day-one, too.
Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of the first installment in the series, will also be released later this year, in August, and as a first-party game, it will be added to Xbox Game Pass. Furthermore,Ninja Gaiden 4is also being released soon, in October, and the title can already be pre-downloaded via Xbox Game Pass. Even the highly anticipatedrelease ofHollow Knight: Silksongat some point this year may be among Microsoft’s possible additions to the service.
It was shown as one of the featured games for the ROG Xbox Ally handheld console, and given how it was highlighted, there is a chance it will be part of the subscription service. While June may have slowed down in terms of new catalog additions when compared to previous months, excitement should pick up soon, as the future catalog forXbox Game Passincludes huge and highly anticipated titles.
