Xbox Game Pass June 2026 brings Persona 5 Royal, Solarpunk, Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, and more. Here’s the full list of new additions, day one launches, and departing titles.
Xbox Game Pass June 2026 adds at least 17 games across two waves, including day one launches for Solarpunk, Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, and Junkster.

The Xbox Games Showcase on June 7 could bring even more surprise additions before the month ends.

Final Fantasy VI in its Pixel Remaster version and Jurassic World Evolution 3 both went live on June 2 for Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass subscribers. The same day saw The Elder Scrolls Online make its PC Game Pass debut after years of being exclusive to console Game Pass tiers.

Persona 5 Royal Returns to Game Pass
Atlus’ award-winning JRPG Persona 5 Royal joins the library on June 9 across Cloud, Console, and PC. The game includes over 40 items of previously released DLC and offers both Japanese and English voice acting. Players lead the Phantom Thieves of Hearts through dungeon crawling, Persona fusion, strategic turn-based combat, and a rich social life system set in Tokyo.
The timing is notable. Persona 4 Golden left Game Pass at the end of May 2026, and Persona 5 Royal’s addition keeps the series represented in the catalogue. For anyone who missed it during its initial Game Pass run, this is one of the highest-rated RPGs of the past decade and easily one of the biggest names in June’s lineup.
Solarpunk: Day One Co-op Survival on Floating Islands
Solarpunk officially launches on June 8 after more than four years since its initial announcement. This survival game takes place in a technologically advanced world of floating islands where players can build structures, grow food, craft gadgets, and pilot an airship to explore distant sky islands. It supports solo play and co-op with friends, making it a natural pick for fans of cozy survival titles like Outbound and Winter Burrow.
Total Chaos and Herdling Kick Off June 4
Total Chaos comes from the creator of Turbo Overkill and is published by Apogee Entertainment. This first-person survival horror game has players scavenging materials and crafting makeshift weapons while navigating an eerie world filled with terrifying creatures. A free New Game+ update added in March 2026 gives returning players a significantly more punishing experience.
Herdling is an atmospheric indie adventure where you lead a herd of loveable beasts on an alpine expedition. The journey involves ascending a mountain path, facing eerie dangers, and uncovering the mystery at the summit. It is part of the Xbox Play Anywhere program and was previously priced at $24.99.
June 11: Beastro, Frog Sqwad, and Starseeker
Beastro blends a cozy life sim with deckbuilding in a puppet adventure. Players team up with an injured god and a group of heroes, preparing magical meals that shape their battle decks. It launches day one on Game Pass.
Frog Sqwad is a co-op extraction puzzle-platformer for up to eight players. Players swing, jump, catapult friends, and eat their way to becoming a Megafrog in physics-driven slapstick chaos. It sits in a growing category of chaotic co-op games that have performed well on Game Pass.
Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions enters Game Preview as a day one title set in the Astroneer universe. The focus is on cooperative expeditions aboard the ESS Starseeker space station, where the full crew works together to complete planet-wide objectives across multiple star systems.
Junkster Closes Wave 1 on June 16
Junkster is a 3D action platformer with a building mechanic. Players control UM-13, a small construction bot stranded on a dangerous junkyard planet. Armed with a robo-wrench, the goal is to repair the ship and recover lost human artifacts. It launches day one on Game Pass and supports Handheld play.
Wave 2: Denshattack!, Shift at Midnight, and Abyssus
The second wave brings additional variety. Denshattack! and Shift at Midnight both arrive on June 17. Shift at Midnight is a co-op horror game where investigators work overnight shifts trying to identify entities disguised as humans, featuring procedural encounters and teamwork-focused gameplay.
Abyssus hits consoles on June 25 alongside a major PC update. Two more titles, RV There Yet? (a quirky co-op driving adventure) and Vapor World: Over The Mind (a dark fantasy action game), are confirmed for June but lack specific dates.
Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass on June 15
Five games are confirmed to leave the Game Pass library on June 15, 2026:
- Jurassic World Evolution 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Lost in Random: The Eternal Die (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Warhammer 40K Space Marine: Master Crafted Edition (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Some sources also list Splitgate: Arena Reloaded as losing its Game Pass perks on the same date. If any of these titles are still on your backlog, the Game Pass membership discount applies to purchases before they leave.
EA Sports UFC 6 Trial and In-Game Perks
Game Pass Ultimate members can access a 10-hour EA Play early access trial for EA Sports UFC 6 starting June 12. Progress carries over to the full game, and members also get 10% off EA digital purchases. Additionally, a limited-time Rainbow Six Siege perk (Blitz Bushido set with the Denko Sekka skin, Hoshi Kabuto headgear, and Taiyou charm) is available now for all Game Pass tiers.
Xbox Games Showcase Could Expand the June Lineup
The Xbox Games Showcase 2026 airs on Sunday, June 7, at 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM BST, followed immediately by a dedicated Gears of War: E-Day Direct. The event will be livestreamed on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Steam, and for the first time in the US on Amazon Live and Prime Video via Fire TV. Over 40 languages will be supported.
Microsoft has historically used Showcase events to announce surprise day one Game Pass additions. The June 2026 lineup is likely incomplete, and more indie releases, third-party titles, or major first-party reveals could join the catalogue after the event.
