Microsoft has added seven new titles to the Xbox Game Pass library for June 2026, expanding access across cloud streaming, Xbox Series X|S consoles, handheld devices, and PC.

Two existing Game Pass titles also received upgrades to the Ultimate catalog tier.

Microsoft expands library with Herdling, Total Chaos, and other titles across platforms

The new titles span various genres, including strategy, simulation, role-playing, and action. In Herdling, players manage herds through survival challenges, whereas Solarpunk features resource management within a futuristic eco-city setting. Persona 5 Royal adds the highly regarded role-playing game, featuring improved visuals and extra content.

All seven games are available immediately on supported platforms without requiring separate purchases or DLC expansions. Selected games feature cross-platform progress, enabling smooth transitions between PC, console, and cloud play. Cloud streaming allows players with older devices to enjoy the library through subscriptions that feature Ultimate benefits.

Two existing titles were upgraded to the Ultimate catalog, offering subscribers improved access based on their subscription tier. The change keeps these games available on standard Game Pass while repositioning them for Ultimate subscribers. Existing subscription costs remain unaffected by this update.

This June update aligns with Microsoft's regular monthly schedule, continuing the pattern established in recent months. Earlier additions featured diverse genres like strategy and indie platformers, highlighting the service's wide appeal to various player types.

Confirmed details include the seven new game additions, their availability on cloud, console, handheld, and PC platforms, and the two title upgrades to the Ultimate catalog. Microsoft has not revealed additional games for June or any price changes related to this release.
