This month's Xbox Game Pass roster is the start of a huge year for players

Xbox Game Pass is getting a major new drop of games, after a huge collection of titles were revealed to be on the way to the service over the next year or so

A fresh batch of games is set to arrive on Xbox Game Pass, promising to delight both shooter and sports enthusiasts with the latest additions.


Xbox Game Pass has faced some stiff competition in the gaming subscription arena. PlayStation has been dominating the game in recent weeks, turning a disappointing drop into a major surprise PS Plus reveal that offers players more Destiny 2 expansions and Another Crab's Treasure.


This was followed by its own PlayStation State of Play as part of the massive reveals of showcase season, announcing big hitters like Sword of the Sea, Twisted Metal 3 and 4, and Resident Evil 2 and 3 set to join the service soon. However, Xbox has plenty more in store.


Since the release of Doom: The Dark Ages, the service has significantly upped its game by introducing Metaphor ReFantazio in a May drop and offering a newly remastered Warhammer 40K: Space Marine on Xbox Game Pass. It's a colossal victory for players, and it appears to be getting even bigger with a substantial recent drop.

Moreover, with the bonus announcement of a plethora of games set to join the service over the next year, it's going to be better than ever when they arrive. So, what exactly is new in the latest Xbox Game Pass announcement? Here's what you need to know.

A significant collection of games is set to arrive with the new Xbox Game Pass update, as revealed in a recent blog post. The lineup includes games that will appeal to both casual players and serious gamers.


Here's what's included in the latest Xbox Game Pass update:

Xbox Game Pass Standard

Baldur’s Gate

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC

EA FC 25

This is fantastic news for fans of Control, as FBC: Firebreak is launching simultaneously on PS Plus. This means you can assemble a team regardless of your chosen console. It's time to return to The Oldest House.

Xbox Game Pass games leaving

As always, a small selection of games are departing the service to make room for the newcomers. It's unfortunate, especially since an excellent sandbox game is being removed from the pass this time.

Here's every game set to leave Xbox Game Pass on Sunday, 15 June:


Xbox Game Pass' massive showcase roster

You've seen everything coming to the service soon, but there's still a robust list of games set to arrive on Xbox Game Pass over the next year or so, as revealed at the most recent Xbox Games Showcase. It's an extensive and impressive collection of quality titles.

Here's everything revealed at the showcase to be on its way to the service:

Call of Duty

Let's not mince words – this is a colossal number of games dropping into players' laps at no additional cost. Whether it's blockbuster hits like Black Ops 7 or the eagerly anticipated Hollow Knight Silksong, it's becoming increasingly evident that if there's a major game heading to Xbox, odds are, it's also coming to Xbox Game Pass – making a subscription practically indispensable for gamers wanting to keep up with the latest releases.

The forthcoming year promises to provide fans with plenty to do, and in the face of fierce competition, Microsoft has demonstrated why its subscription service deserves recognition, not only because it essentially pioneered it in the gaming world, but because it continues to be top-notch.

A massive influx of games is set to hit the service as if this month's Xbox Game Pass update wasn't robust enough. Brace yourself for a significant loss of free time when these games finally land – particularly with Super Meat Boy 3D. That one's going to be a challenge.
