As a regular Game Pass subscriber, I always get a little jolt when Microsoft maps out the next wave of additions. This June and early July 2026 lineup feels especially busy, balancing big names with smaller co-op and indie-style surprises. If you play on console, PC, cloud, or even a handheld, there is a lot to queue up. Here is my full rundown of what’s landing and what’s leaving, plus a few thoughts on the games I’m most excited to try.
The new arrivals
The next few weeks bring seven notable titles into the subscription catalog. Depending on your membership—Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, or PC Game Pass—the platform support varies, but the overall slate is strong. Here is the full list:
| Game | Date | Platforms | Available via |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junkster | 16 June | Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, handheld, PC | Ultimate, PC Game Pass |
| Call of Duty: Vanguard | 17 June | Cloud, console, PC | Ultimate, Premium, PC Game Pass |
| EA Sports FC 26 | 18 June | Cloud, console, PC | Ultimate, PC Game Pass |
| Abyssus | 25 June | Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, PC | Ultimate, Premium, PC Game Pass |
| RV There Yet? | 30 June | Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, PC | Ultimate, Premium, PC Game Pass |
| Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 | 2 July | Cloud, console, PC | Premium now, plus Ultimate and PC Game Pass |
| Winds of Arcana: Ruination | 6 July | Cloud, console, handheld, PC | Ultimate, Premium, PC Game Pass |
My picks from the new batch
RV There Yet? is the one that immediately won me over. It is a co-op adventure where you and your friends have to navigate the outdoors in a trusty RV, and things often go sideways. The developers clearly understand that a road trip with pals is equal parts scenic relaxation and panicked problem-solving. I can already imagine the group chaos when someone reverses the camper into a tree or blocks the only path forward.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is another highlight, especially for skateboarding fans. This series was dormant for way too long, so bringing these classic-style games into the library feels like a reintroduction to something that never should have left. I’m ready to drop in, string ridiculous combos, and immediately embarrass myself with missed manuals.
Call of Duty: Vanguard gives shooter fans a big military campaign and multiplayer option on day one of its Game Pass run. EA Sports FC 26 is the current football title, so it is a solid pickup if you follow the season or just want a familiar sports sim. Junkster and Abyssus lean a bit more into creative or action-oriented fun, and Winds of Arcana: Ruination rounds things out with a fantasy-flavored adventure across console, handheld, cloud, and PC.
Games leaving the service
It is not all good news. Starting 30th June, several games will rotate out of the Game Pass library. I always try to use this list as a reminder to finish anything I have been sleeping on.
| Leaving game | Platforms |
|---|---|
| Mecha Break | Cloud, console, PC |
| Payday 2 | Console |
| Rise of the Tomb Raider | Cloud, console, PC |
| Tomb Raider | Cloud, console, PC |
| Slay the Spire | Cloud, console, PC |
| Ultimate Chicken Horse | Cloud, console, PC |
| Volcano Princess | Cloud, console, PC |
| Unpacking | Cloud, console, PC |
Some of these hurt. Slay the Spire is one of the best deck-building roguelikes around, so if you have never tried it, this is your final few weeks. Unpacking is a small, emotional gem that is perfect for a quiet afternoon. Losing both Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider at the same time is rough for action-adventure fans. Ultimate Chicken Horse is also a fantastic party game, so grab a group before it disappears.
My overall take
June and early July 2026 feel like a well-rounded Game Pass month. There is a big shooter, a sports sim, a nostalgic skateboarding collection, some co-op travel chaos, and a few wildcards. At the same time, the departure list is a good excuse to knock out a short game or two before the end of the month. I’ll be starting with RV There Yet? because co-op nonsense is my comfort zone, then I’ll probably dust off my skateboard muscle memory with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4.
