Xbox Game Pass June 2026 Wave 1: Every Game Arriving and Leaving

Tier and platform details per the official Xbox Wire announcement and corroborating reports .

June 4: Herdling and Total Chaos

The wave opens on June 4 with two titles expanding their tier availability to Game Pass Premium .

• Herdling is an atmospheric adventure about guiding a herd of creatures through a mysterious mountain landscape. Calm, thoughtful, and deliberately paced .
• Total Chaos is a first-person survival horror title from the creator of Turbo Overkill. Expect resource scavenging, makeshift weapons, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere .

Both titles are already accessible on Ultimate and PC Game Pass and are now rolling out to Premium subscribers .

June 8: Solarpunk and Undisputed

Two very different games land on the same day:

• Solarpunk brings floating-island survival to Cloud, console, and PC. It’s a day-one launch on Game Pass, meaning subscribers can play it the moment it releases .
• Undisputed is the boxing sim making its service debut on Game Pass this month, available across Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass .

June 9: Persona 5 Royal

The flagship addition. Persona 5 Royal returns to Game Pass on Cloud, Console, and PC for Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass subscribers . The game originally left the service roughly three years ago, and its re-addition fills the RPG gap left by Metaphor: ReFantazio’s earlier departure . It’s a full-fat Atlus JRPG with turn-based combat, social sim mechanics, and one of the best soundtracks in the genre.

June 11: Beastro, Frog Sqwad, and Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions

A trio of smaller-scale indies arrive mid-month:

• Beastro is a cozy life-sim/deck-builder hybrid. Day-one release .
• Frog Sqwad is a co-op extraction puzzle-platformer. Not day-one, but new to the service for Ultimate and PC members .
• Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions enters Game Preview as a day-one launch on Ultimate and PC Game Pass. It’s a sci-fi sandbox spin-off from the Astroneer universe .

June 16: Junkster

The final addition of Wave 1 is Junkster, a 3D action-platformer that hits Game Pass as a day-one release on June 16 for Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers .

What’s leaving on June 15

Five games are scheduled to leave the service on June 15 :

• Jurassic World Evolution 2
• Lost in Random: The Eternal Die
• Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
• Warhammer 40K Space Marine: Master Crafted Edition
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge

If any of these are sitting in your backlog, you have until mid-June to wrap them up or at least give them a proper send-off.

EA Play trial for EA Sports UFC 6

Game Pass Ultimate subscribers get an additional perk: a 10-hour early access trial for EA Sports UFC 6 via EA Play, starting June 13 . It’s not a full addition to the Game Pass library, but it’s a solid bonus if you want to test the latest entry in the MMA franchise before committing to a purchase.

How this wave fits the bigger picture

The June 2026 Wave 1 lineup is lighter on AAA blockbusters than some previous months, but it compensates with variety and day-one support for smaller studios . Four games — Solarpunk, Beastro, Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, and Junkster — launch directly into the subscription, continuing Microsoft’s push toward making Game Pass a discovery platform for indies alongside its heavy-hitter back catalog .

The return of Persona 5 Royal is the clearest signal that Microsoft views library departures and returns as a cyclical strategy: titles leave, demand builds, and they come back as events . With five games exiting on June 15, the service continues its familiar rhythm of rotating content while keeping the overall catalog fresh.
