Key Highlights
Herdling is a short atmospheric adventure from Okomotive, published by Panic. You guide a herd of gentle, floppy-eared creatures called Calicorns through hand-crafted mountain landscapes using simple commands to direct, rally, and comfort them. The focus is entirely on vibes, visuals, and quiet emotional storytelling rather than mechanical challenge. It runs around three to four hours and launched in 2025 to very positive Steam reviews at 95% approval. Critics praised its breathtaking art and heartfelt narrative, with scores typically landing between 7 and 8.5 out of 10. It is a small, quietly memorable experience.
Total Chaos is a first-person survival horror game from Trigger Happy Interactive, published by Apogee Entertainment. You wash up on a mysterious island, scavenge for resources, craft makeshift weapons, and fight grotesque monsters while navigating a story that touches on mental health and psychological struggle. It launched in late 2025 to a generally favorable reception, with Metacritic scores in the mid-70s to low-80s. Critics highlighted its inventive crafting combat and strong atmosphere, though repetitive enemy encounters and some polish issues were common criticisms.
Solarpunk is a cozy survival-crafting game from Cyberwave, published by rokaplay. Set on floating sky islands, you build eco-friendly homes, farm, automate with renewable technology, and explore via a customizable airship either solo or with up to three friends. It launches on June 8 as a day-one Game Pass release. It is positioned as a low-pressure alternative in the survival-crafting genre.
Undisputed is a realistic boxing simulation from Steel City Interactive, published by Deep Silver. It features a deep career mode, a large roster of licensed fighters, strategic training and RPG-style progression, and ring combat built around timing, stamina, and damage management. It launched in 2024 to a generally positive reception with Metacritic scores between 75 and 80. Critics called it the best boxing game in years for simulation fans, though some noted weaknesses in animations and commentary.
Persona 5 Royal is the definitive edition of Atlus's acclaimed JRPG, and it is easily the biggest addition in this wave. You play as the Phantom Thieves, a group of high school students who explore supernatural Palaces to change the hearts of corrupt adults. It balances life simulation elements like school, social bonds, and part-time jobs with strategic turn-based Persona combat. The Royal edition added new characters, story content, and gameplay systems on top of an already massive base game. It holds a Metacritic score in the 90s and 96% positive reviews on Steam, and is widely considered one of the best JRPGs ever made. If you have not played it, this is the version to start with.
Beastro is a cozy culinary adventure and roguelite deckbuilder from Timberline Studio, launching on June 11 as a day-one Game Pass title. You run a restaurant, gather ingredients, cook dishes that power your heroes' card decks, and fight enemies through turn-based trick-taking combat. It blends farming, cooking, and fantasy adventure into a loop that sounds genuinely charming.
Frog Sqwad is a chaotic co-op extraction puzzle-platformer from Panic Stations, supporting up to eight players. You play as frogs using their tongues to swing, grab, launch friends and objects, and solve physics-based challenges while gathering food and resources in a sewer network for the glory of the Swamp King. Demo feedback has drawn comparisons to Lethal Company and Fall Guys, highlighting its slapstick physics and party game potential. It launches on June 11, day one release.
Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions is a cooperative space exploration game from System Era Softworks, the studio behind Astroneer, published by Devolver Digital. Arriving in Early Access on June 11 as a day-one Game Pass release, it puts players aboard the ESS Starseeker to complete planet-wide objectives, discover new worlds, and engage in sandbox multiplayer exploration with narrative elements woven in.
Junkster is a cute 3D action platformer from Stormcloud Games, launching on June 16 as a day-one Game Pass title. You play as construction bot UM-13 on a junkyard planet, using a robo-wrench to platform, fight enemies, scavenge, and build and repair structures in order to fix your ship and recover lost artifacts.
Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass on June 15
These titles are heading out mid-month, so make sure you finish them before they go:
Jurassic World Evolution 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Master Crafted Edition (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (Cloud, Console, and PC)
The two most notable departures here are Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Both are side-scrolling beat-em-ups with strong co-op and a devoted following. Shredder's Revenge in particular launched in 2022 to overwhelming praise and is still considered one of the best modern entries in the genre. If either is sitting unplayed in your library, June 15 is your deadline.
