Xbox new releases June 1–5: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Gothic 1 Remake, and more

Xbox Wire has dropped the full lineup for June 1–5, covering Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox on PC, and Game Pass. It's a strong week headlined by two major releases and a solid spread of smaller titles.

The biggest arrival is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, landing on Xbox on June 2. Square Enix's RPG — the second chapter of the FF7 remake trilogy — is optimized for Xbox Series X|S and supports Xbox Play Anywhere. Standard edition is $49.99 (currently $39.99 on pre-order), Digital Deluxe runs $69.99 (down to $55.99). June 5 brings Gothic 1 Remake from THQ Nordic, a faithful rebuild of the 2001 open world RPG classic with a hand-crafted world that reacts dynamically to player choices, priced at $59.99. On June 4, The 7th Guest Remake from Vertigo Games modernizes the iconic 1993 horror adventure — six guests, one foreboding mansion, and the mysterious toymaker Henry Stauf lurking in the shadows. Also June 4: FORENSIC – M.E. Protocol, a forensic investigation sim with 9 cases and no gunfights — just science and logic — at $12.49 ($9.99 pre-order), and GOALS, a free-to-play football game with cross-platform PC and console play, custom physics, and no paywalls. June 1 kicks things off with Bober Constructions ($9.59), a co-op construction game for up to four beaver builders; BrokenLore: FOLLOW, a psychological first-person horror game following a young woman named Anne confronting surreal creatures born from her inner trauma; and Tale of Dark Lands, a low-poly fantasy action RPG at $9.99 ($7.99 pre-order). June 2 adds Perfect Ninja Painter 4, Scarlet Wolf ($9.99, $7.99 pre-order), Tallowmere 2: Curse of the Kittens, and To Bee Jazz. June 3 rounds out the mid-week with Eco Mahjong, Moves: Perfect Pair, and Springbot: The Last Spark.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth originally launched as a PS5 exclusive in February 2024 to strong reviews. Its Xbox arrival finally brings the trilogy to a wider audience. Gothic 1 Remake has been in development for years — the original Gothic has cult status in the RPG community, so this one has been on fans' radar for a while.

Pre-orders for both Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Gothic 1 Remake are live now with launch discounts applied.
