We’re only halfway through June, and we’re already getting another round of title additions (and subtractions) from Xbox Game Pass. However, with every new game coming to the service, there is another game that we must say goodbye to.
In a blog post, Xbox has announced what’s new for Game Pass in the second half of June 2024. There is one game that is available to play right now, some more games that are coming throughout the rest of the month, and a number of games that are leaving the subscription service.
The announcement comes only two weeks after the company hosted its annual Xbox Game Showcase and Call of Duty Direct event, so there’s lots to look forward to in Game Pass — but let’s focus on what’s coming in the next couple of weeks. Let’s jump in.
