After a month of May particularly full of news about Game Pass, Microsoft returns with a month of June that prepares for the Summer Game Fest. We’re only a few hours away from kick-off, so expect a slew of announcements and quite a few integrations in the coming weeks. In the meantime, some nice titles are planned for this month of June, the first of the summer. Here’s the list of games that will be joining Xbox Game Pass over the next couple of weeks:
As announced earlier in the day, the two Octopath Traveler games are (finally) coming to Xbox and landing on Microsoft’s service at the same time. The franchise is a must-have for those who love JRPGs with multiple, intertwined stories. This arrival is a pleasant surprise for subscribers who did not expect such news.
The rest of the month is not devoid of interesting things. The horror game The Callisto Protocol will immerse players in a prison on Jupiter’s moon, populated by absolutely frightening humanoid monsters. The two chapters of the SteamWorld Dig saga are also added to the catalog. Football fans will be able to leave their Euro 2024 viewing sessions to play fast-paced games that EA Sports FC 24. Finally, subscribers will be able to discover the indie game Still Wakes the Deep on the day of its release.
Microsoft announces arrivals, but also departures. In May, there are a lot of them compared to the upcoming matches. On June 30, we will have to say goodbye to these few titles that we will have enjoyed during their presence.
