Xbox Game Pass June wave 2: seven new games confirmed, plus two more in early July

Xbox has confirmed the second wave of Game Pass additions for June, with four games arriving before the end of the month and two more locked in for early July. The first half of June was the heavier drop — this wave is lighter but still covers a decent spread of genres.

Leading off on June 16 is Junkster, a 3D action platformer with building mechanics where you play as a small construction bot repairing a spaceship and recovering human artifacts — and it's a day-one Game Pass launch. Call of Duty: Vanguard, the World War II entry from 2021, hits the service on June 17. EA Sports FC 26 follows on June 18, bringing official teams, players, and tournaments even though EA and FIFA parted ways a few years ago. Abyssus, a fast-paced roguelite set in a brine-punk world, arrives June 25, and RV There Yet? — a co-op camping game with arguably the best title in gaming — rounds out the month on June 30. Heading into July, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 lands for Game Pass Premium subscribers on July 2, and Winds of Arcana: Ruination brings metroidvania action to the service on July 6. All titles are available on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and cloud.

On the flip side, eight games leave Game Pass on June 30, including several Tomb Raider titles and the beloved Unpacking. If any of those are still on your backlog, the clock is ticking.
