These are the new Xbox Game Pass games in June 2026
The first June wave for Game Pass has been determined. Four games will be released by subscription right at launch: "Solarpunk", "Beastro", "Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions" and "Junkster".
Your backlog doesn't get a grace period. The new Game Pass games will be released between June 4 and 16, 2026, with «Herdling» and «Total Chaos» starting on June 16, followed by «Junkster», the last announced new addition to this wave, on June 16.
«Herdling»
When: June 4
Where: Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC
How: New in Game Pass Premium; already included in Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass
Genre: Atmospheric Adventure
Game type: Singleplayer
«Herdling» focuses on a calm, visually powerful journey instead of hectic action. You'll lead a herd of unusual creatures through alpine landscapes, dangerous passages, and increasingly mysterious environments. The game combines exploration, easy puzzles and careful herd management.
The focus is not on the fight against opponents, but on the relationship between you and the creatures you protect. The route leads uphill, past obstacles, to scary moments and small challenges that you solve with overview and patience.
«Total Chaos»
When: June 4
Where: Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC
How: New in Game Pass Premium; already included in Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass
Genre: First-Person Survival Horror
Game type: Singleplayer
«Total Chaos» is a dark survival horror game coming to Game Pass that sends you to a dilapidated island from a first-person perspective. Fort Oasis looks abandoned, but not empty. You'll scavenge for materials, craft improvised weapons, and navigate a world where reality and delusion are increasingly intermingled.
The game comes from the creator of «Turbo Overkill», but strikes a much slower, more oppressive tone. Instead of pure non-stop action, "Total Chaos" requires resource management, careful exploration, and dealing with creatures that you shouldn't always encounter head-on.
«Solarpunk»
When: June 8
Where: Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC
How: Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Genre: Survival, crafting, building
Game type: Singleplayer and co-op multiplayer
«Solarpunk» launches on Day One on Game Pass, shifting the survival genre to a friendlier, more technologically advanced world. Instead of gray end times, you explore floating islands, construct buildings, plant food, and craft gadgets to help you survive and travel. Your airship plays a central role in this, because you can use it to reach new islands and gradually open up the game world.
On your own, you can build and shape the environment at your own pace. In co-op, you work with friends on joint projects, collect resources and share tasks. The appeal lies in the combination of survival mechanics and bright, optimistic science fiction.
From my colleague Debora will have a review of the game next week. She is a big fan of the genre Solarpunk.
«Undisputed»
When: June 8
Where: Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld, and PC

«Undisputed" wants to bring boxing to the screen as authentically as possible. The game focuses on footwork, distance control, shot angle and timing. Not only do you control individual hooks and jabs, but you have to read in the ring how your opponent stands, when he is open and when it is better to dodge. Licensed boxers, realistic animations and a physical flow of fighting are designed to create the feeling of a real boxing match.
In single-player, you can use battles and career content to build your style. Online, you compete against other players.
