Xbox Game Pass June 2026 Games List: Persona 5 Royal, Solarpunk, Undisputed and More

Microsoft has officially revealed the first wave of Xbox Game Pass additions for June 2026 — and while it may not be the blockbuster drop some subscribers were hoping for, there is a solid lineup of titles across every genre to keep you gaming throughout the month. Here is everything you need to know about what is coming, what is leaving, and what to expect from the rest of June.

Xbox Game Pass June 2026 Wave 1 — Full List

Microsoft confirmed nine new games arriving in the first wave of June 2026 additions. Here is the complete list with dates and platform availability:

Herdling (Game Pass Standard, Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC) — June 4 A charming mountain adventure where you guide a herd of strange, lovable creatures through an alpine landscape full of danger and mystery. A relaxing and unique experience for Game Pass Standard subscribers.

Total Chaos (Game Pass Standard, Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC) — June 4 A gritty, atmospheric action title arriving alongside Herdling on June 4. A darker contrast to its launch day companion.

Solarpunk (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass | Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC) — June 8 An open-world survival crafting game set in a technically advanced world of floating islands. Solarpunk has been one of the most anticipated indie releases of mid-2026, confirmed as a day-one Game Pass release on May 29. Build, explore, and survive in a world that blends natural beauty with futuristic technology.

Undisputed (Game Pass Ultimate, Standard, PC Game Pass | Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Handheld, PC) — June 8 The most comprehensive boxing simulation ever made arrives on Game Pass. Undisputed features an enormous roster of real-world fighters, authentic mechanics, and deep career mode options. Boxing fans have been waiting for a game of this quality for years.

Persona 5 Royal (Game Pass Ultimate, Standard, PC Game Pass | Cloud, Console, PC) — June 9 The biggest name in the Wave 1 lineup. Atlus' massively stylish RPG returns to Game Pass on June 9 after previously leaving the service. If you somehow missed it the first time, this is your chance. Persona 5 Royal is one of the highest-rated JRPGs ever made, offering well over 100 hours of story, style, and turn-based combat as the Phantom Thieves take on corrupt adults in a supernatural Tokyo. Absolutely essential.

Beastro (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass | Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Handheld, PC) — June 11 A day-one Game Pass release launching directly onto the service. Details are still emerging but the game has generated solid buzz among indie gaming communities ahead of its arrival.

Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) — June 11 Built on the beloved Astroneer universe, Starseeker takes the franchise's signature planet exploration in a new direction. Confirmed as a day-one Game Pass release, this is one for fans of the original game and newcomers alike.

Junkster (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass | Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Handheld, PC) — June 16 Another day-one Game Pass arrival, Junkster lands mid-month with a quirky aesthetic and gameplay that leans into creative chaos.

Shift at Midnight — June 17 An unnerving co-op horror detective game that received its release date just days ago. Shift at Midnight puts players in a disturbing investigative experience designed for cooperative play. Horror fans should mark this one down immediately.

Already Available — Early June Arrivals

Two titles arrived at the very start of June and are already playable now:

Final Fantasy 6 — June 2 Square Enix's legendary 1994 RPG — widely considered one of the greatest games ever made — is now available on Xbox Game Pass. Whether you are revisiting Terra, Locke, and the rest of the cast or experiencing the game for the first time, this is an unmissable addition to the library.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 — June 2 The latest entry in Frontier Developments' beloved park-building franchise. Build and manage your own dinosaur park in this expanded sequel that introduces new species, new mechanics, and more chaotic dinosaur disasters than ever before.

Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass — June 15

Five titles are confirmed to leave Game Pass on June 15, 2026. If any of these are on your list, download them now:

• Splitgate: Arena Reloaded
• TMNT: Shredder's Revenge
• Warhammer 40K: Space Marine — Master Crafted Edition
• Jurassic World Evolution 2 (being replaced by its sequel)
• Lost in Random: The Eternal Die

Xbox Games Showcase — June 7

The timing of this Wave 1 announcement is deliberate. Microsoft is hosting its Xbox Games Showcase on June 7 — just days away — and the company is widely expected to announce major additions to Game Pass as part of that event. The June 2026 Wave 1 lineup is intentionally modest, with the real fireworks likely coming from the showcase.

Historically, Xbox Games Showcases have been used to announce day-one Game Pass launches for major upcoming titles. With the showcase just days away, subscribers should expect the full June 2026 lineup to look considerably more impressive by this time next week.

New Xbox boss Asha Sharma has also signalled a positive shift in Game Pass momentum following Microsoft's recent price reduction. "Since our price reduction we have seen acquisitions grow and retention improve, which is a good first step," Sharma said in an internal memo. The price cut reversed a controversial hike from late 2025 and appears to be working — growing the subscriber base heading into what promises to be a packed second half of 2026.

What About Call of Duty?

One notable absence from the June lineup — and likely from Game Pass for some time — is Call of Duty. As part of the recent price reduction deal, Microsoft confirmed that new Call of Duty titles will not be added to Xbox Game Pass for at least one year. Existing CoD titles remain on the service, but subscribers hoping to play the next mainline release on day one through Game Pass will need to wait.

Is Xbox Game Pass Worth It in June 2026?

With Persona 5 Royal returning, Final Fantasy 6 already available, Solarpunk and Undisputed landing mid-month, and the Xbox Games Showcase likely to add more major titles to the calendar — June 2026 is shaping up to be a solid month for subscribers.

At its current reduced price, Game Pass Ultimate remains one of the best value propositions in gaming. The combination of day-one releases, classic titles, and the returning Persona 5 Royal alone justifies the subscription for any serious gamer this month.
