Microsoft has unveiled the June lineup for Xbox Game Pass, and it’s a good month to be a fan of action-packed adventures. Headlining the additions are Ubisoft heavy-hitters *Assassin’s Creed: Origins* and *For Honor: Marching Fire Edition*, marking a continued partnership between Ubisoft and Xbox Game Pass. These titles are accompanied by four other games spanning genres from roguelikes to narrative-driven indie experiences—cementing Xbox Game Pass’s reputation for variety and value.
*Assassin’s Creed: Origins*, the critically acclaimed 2017 entry that redefined the franchise’s gameplay with a shift toward open-world RPG mechanics, lands on Game Pass this Thursday. Set in Ancient Egypt, players will explore the origins of the Brotherhood of Assassins through the eyes of Bayek—a Medjay on a personal mission across a stunning historical landscape. With its sprawling open world and deep leveling system, *Origins* is a great pick for both longtime Assassin’s Creed fans and newcomers.
Joining it is *For Honor: Marching Fire Edition*, the definitive version of Ubisoft’s medieval melee brawler. With improved visuals, new factions like the Wu Lin, and expanded PvE content, *Marching Fire Edition* offers a meaty experience for competitive players. Whether you’re diving into strategic duels or cooperative fortress sieges, *For Honor*’s revamped edition brings new life to the battlefield.
The other titles rounding out June’s first wave include roguelike platformer *Spelunky 2*, whimsical ship-builder *Chinatown Detective Agency*, tactical card game *Trek to Yomi*, and co-op seafood kitchen chaos of *Naraka: Bladepoint*. Each of these games brings unique flavor and gameplay mechanics—ensuring Game Pass subscribers have an exciting summer lineup to dig into.
With these additions, Microsoft continues to flex the strength of Game Pass as a service that offers not only day-one indie hits but also beloved AAA classics. Combined with the ever-expanding Xbox Cloud Gaming support, subscribers can now take these adventures on the go or enjoy them wherever they choose to play.
Stay tuned for the second wave of June titles, which Xbox typically announces mid-month. If this first drop is any indication, it’s shaping up to be a banner summer for Game Pass.
