Ahead of the Xbox Games Showcase as part of Summer Game Fest 2026, the first batch of Xbox Game Pass games for June 2026 has been revealed, and so far its a wave of indie games to start the month with a heavy-hitting JRPG in Persona 5 Royal. 'So far' is the key phrase though, because it wouldn't be a surprise if there are some shadow-drop reveals set for the upcoming showcase.
Of course, it's never a guarantee, but Xbox has made a habit of including shadow-drop releases in its showcases, with games players can download on the service immediately after they've seen them highlighted in an event. Shadow dropping Ninja Gaiden 2 Black at its 2025 Developer Direct event is arguably the most high-profile example of this, and it wouldn't be a shock to see something of that scale happen again.
Until then, however, we have seven new Game Pass games entering the subscription service, two games already in Game Pass Ultimate shuffling down to Game Pass Premium and five games making their exit as of June 15, 2026. Beginning with the full list of games entering:
- Herdling - June 4 - Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X/S - Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, now also on Game Pass Premium
