You guys -- Game Pass just dropped a massive late-June batch and there are some HUGE names on it! Today we got Junkster, Stormcloud's new 3D action platformer (build bridges, reach areas), playable via Ultimate/PC Game Pass across Xbox Series X/S, Cloud, and PC. It even hit Steam and PS5 today -- so not a console exclusive at all which is cool to see! Then Call of Duty: Vanguard lands on June 17 for Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass, joining the already-present COD catalog.
But wait there's more because EA Sports FC 26 joins Ultimate/PC on June 18 AFTER Sony removed its version from PS Plus earlier this year -- funny timing! Then we get Abyssus (co-op roguelite shooter) July 25 and RV There Yet? on June 30, which is a monster of an adventure game that already sold 4.5 million copies in just two months. Looking ahead: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 hits the Premium tier July 2 (already available on Ultimate/PC), and Winds of Arcana: Ruination -- a 2.5D Metroidvania! -- lands July 6 for everyone.
And here is the real kicker because this news drops right as Microsoft's gaming division goes through a major reset with Craig Duncan stepping down, amidst rumors that several studios are on the chopping block. Ninja Theory and Double Fine have reportedly been flagged for closure, while Compulsion Games has leadership trying to find a new owner or buy themselves out from Microsoft entirely -- so these additions feel like a packed lineup during a turbulent time for Xbox Game Studios.
