Xbox Game Pass June Lineup Brings Blockbusters and Surprises

June is kicking off with a bang for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, as Microsoft unveils a diverse and star-studded lineup of titles joining the service this month. From acclaimed narrative epics to offbeat indie gems, Game Pass continues its momentum as the go-to subscription for gaming value.

Headlining this month’s additions is the highly anticipated arrival of *Assassin’s Creed Valhalla*. Ubisoft’s sprawling Viking saga brings its brutal combat, rich open world, and Norse mythology-heavy storyline to subscribers starting June 6. The game’s Deluxe Edition—featuring bonus missions and gear—will be available across Xbox consoles, PC, and the cloud.

Next up, surprise indie hit *Dave the Diver* makes its Xbox debut via Game Pass on June 13. Known for its charming blend of deep-sea exploration and sushi restaurant management, the pixel-art adventure has already amassed a devoted following on PC. This marks yet another example of Xbox’s push to bolster its indie catalog with critical darlings.

Also joining mid-month is *Still Wakes the Deep*, the atmospheric horror title from The Chinese Room, creators of *Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture*. Dropping day-one on Game Pass June 18, the oil rig-set thriller promises a gripping, story-driven experience that explores isolation and psychological terror in a visually cinematic fashion.

Rounding out the month, *Octopath Traveler II*—previously a Nintendo Switch console exclusive—arrives on Xbox and Game Pass on June 27, giving fans of the HD-2D art style and intricate multi-character storytelling something to celebrate.

The additions continue to reflect Microsoft’s aggressive content strategy as it positions Game Pass as a cornerstone of its gaming ecosystem. With a mix of AAA heavy-hitters, unique indie titles, and high-profile third-party collaborations, June’s lineup ensures that players of all tastes will have something new to dive into.

In a world where subscriptions are competing for attention at every turn, Xbox Game Pass seems determined to prove that it’s worth every penny.
