Wave 2 lineup: what’s coming (June 16–July 6)

Announced on Xbox Wire on June 16, Wave 2 brings seven titles spanning the second half of June and the early days of July . The mix leans blockbuster-heavy: Call of Duty: Vanguard and EA Sports FC 26 are the marquee draws, but there are also several day-one indie launches and a few older gems .

Game	Platforms	Date Available	Required Tier
Junkster	Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld, PC	June 16	Ultimate, PC
Call of Duty: Vanguard	Cloud, Console, PC	June 17	Ultimate, Premium, PC
EA Sports FC 26	Cloud, Console, PC	June 18	Ultimate, PC (EA Play)
Abyssus	Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC	June 25	Ultimate, Premium, PC
RV There Yet?	Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC	June 30	Ultimate, Premium, PC
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4	Cloud, Console, PC	July 2	Ultimate, Premium, PC
Winds of Arcana: Ruination	Cloud, Console, Handheld, PC	July 6	Ultimate, Premium, PC

Junkster, a day-one title, actually straddles the end of Wave 1 and the start of Wave 2 with its June 16 launch—some sources group it with Wave 1, while the official Wave 2 announcement included it . Regardless, it’s available now for Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers.

Call of Duty: Vanguard requires either Game Pass Ultimate or the new Premium tier; it is not available to Essential subscribers . EA Sports FC 26 follows the same day, dropping via EA Play for Ultimate and PC Game Pass members .

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 arrives on July 2, just two days after the month technically ends, but is officially part of this wave .

Games leaving on June 30, 2026

Eight games are scheduled to exit the Game Pass library on June 30 . Most are available on all platforms, though Payday 2 leaves only on console.

• Mecha Break (Cloud, Console, PC)
• Payday 2 (Console only)
• Rise of the Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, PC)
• Tomb Raider (2013 reboot) (Cloud, Console, PC)
• Slay the Spire (Cloud, Console, PC)
• Ultimate Chicken Horse (Cloud, Console, PC)
• Volcano Princess (Cloud, Console, PC)
• Unpacking (Cloud, Console, PC)

Several of these—particularly Slay the Spire, Unpacking, and the Tomb Raider duo—have been heavily played staples on the service. Subscribers can purchase any of them at a 20% discount before they leave .

If you still need to finish a playthrough or wrap up achievements, prioritize Slay the Spire and Unpacking. Slay the Spire runs typically take 1–2 hours per attempt (though mastering it takes far longer), and Unpacking can be completed in roughly 3–4 hours—both manageable before the deadline.

What this means for subscribers

With 16 total additions in June (nine in Wave 1, seven in Wave 2) and eight departures on the 30th, the Game Pass library is in heavy rotation this month. The June 2026 lineup continues a pattern of mixing AAA blockbusters with day-one indie launches, but the tier restrictions are worth watching: several Wave 2 titles—including Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4—require Game Pass Ultimate or Premium; Essential subscribers will not gain access .

Microsoft also removed five games on June 1 (part of an earlier wave), meaning the total library churn in June exceeds 20 titles across additions and removals . As always, Game Pass Ultimate remains the most comprehensive option, covering cloud, console, and PC across every single addition this month.
