Xbox Game Pass Expands in June With Assassin’s Creed and Day-One Indies

Microsoft is kicking off June with a powerful showcase of Xbox Game Pass additions, bringing a mix of AAA legacy and standout indie releases to the subscription service. Headlining the month is Ubisoft’s acclaimed Assassin’s Creed Origins, the 2017 open-world reboot that revitalized the franchise with RPG elements and a sprawling Ancient Egypt setting. Also joining the lineup are For Honor: Marching Fire Edition, a revamped version of Ubisoft’s melee combat hit, and a string of exciting day-one indie titles.

Assassin’s Creed Origins drops on Game Pass for both console and PC this week, allowing a new wave of players to step into the sandals of Bayek of Siwa, the game’s vengeful Medjay protagonist. The addition of Origins has been much-anticipated, especially following last month’s well-received debut of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on the platform. With rumors of more Ubisoft titles slated to hit Game Pass, this partnership looks to be heating up.

Alongside the assassin action, strategy fans can look forward to For Honor: Marching Fire Edition, which not only includes the base game but adds new factions, arcade mode, and visual upgrades. It’s a solid pick for players looking to master methodical, weapon-based combat either solo or with friends.

June also sees Game Pass lean into indie innovation, debuting several new titles on day one. Notably, The Big Con — a quirky ‘90s-set con-artist adventure — and Spacelines from the Far Out — a co-op sci-fi airline management sim — promise variety and charm. These additions continue Microsoft’s growing trend of supporting smaller developers by offering their games to millions of subscribers at launch.

June’s Game Pass lineup demonstrates Microsoft’s continued commitment to offering diverse, high-quality experiences that cater to both mainstream and niche audiences. Whether you’re exploring pyramids, dueling knights, or running galactic flight paths, this month has something for every kind of player.

With its ever-expanding library and strategic partnerships, Xbox Game Pass is proving to be less a service and more an ecosystem — and one that’s becoming increasingly difficult for gamers to ignore.
