Xbox Game Pass is making waves again with a massive boost to its June lineup that could redefine the summer gaming season. Microsoft announced that major AAA titles including *Assassin’s Creed Mirage* and the critically acclaimed *Resident Evil 3* remake are joining the platform this month, signaling its continued commitment to delivering blockbuster value to subscribers.
First up, *Assassin’s Creed Mirage*, the latest installment in Ubisoft’s long-running stealth-action franchise, lands on Game Pass June 20. The game promises a return to the series’ roots with tighter stealth mechanics, urban parkour, and a more focused narrative centered around Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character introduced in *Valhalla*. It’s a smart move for Microsoft as the franchise still boasts a massive fanbase hungry for new content that leans into the series’ classic gameplay style.
Also arriving this month is Capcom’s modern remake of *Resident Evil 3*, dropping June 25. This survival horror staple has been rebuilt from the ground up using the RE Engine, bringing modern visuals and reimagined gameplay to one of the most iconic titles in the genre. With the success of predecessors like *Resident Evil 2 Remake*, this addition is sure to thrill fans and newcomers alike.
These marquee titles headline a broader mid-year push from Microsoft, which has seen Game Pass subscriptions grow steadily throughout 2024. According to recent internal reports, Game Pass has surpassed 35 million subscribers globally — and this June drop could accelerate that growth even further.
Microsoft’s strategy appears to be leaning heavily on high-profile day-one or near-new releases, and it’s paying off. By building a library that swings between fresh titles and beloved franchises, Xbox Game Pass continues to assert itself as the dominant service in the gaming subscription wars.
With competition from Sony’s revamped PS Plus and other cloud gaming initiatives, Microsoft is clearly going for the jugular. If this is what June looks like, subscribers can only imagine what the rest of 2024 holds. For now, Xbox Game Pass might just be the summer’s ultimate gaming destination.
