In recent years, Microsoft’s gaming showcases have focused heavily on Xbox Game Pass, sometimes declaring at the start that all the games fans were about to see would belaunching on Xbox Game Pass on day one. It’s entirely within the realm of possibility that will happen again with the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase on June 12, but fans will just have to tune in to find out for themselves.
There are plenty of rumors going into the show as well, and it will be interesting to see if they turn out to be true, and if so, what they will mean for Xbox Game Pass. One of the rumors is that aGears of Warcollection is on the way in the vein ofHalo: The Master Chief Collection, which would presumably mean some remastered content from the older games in the series. Another rumor says that Microsoft is on the cusp of releasing aGoldenEye 007remaster, evidenced by a Rare developer somehow unlocking an achievement in the game recently.
Shadowrun TrilogyandEscape Academywill not be the only new Xbox Game Pass games for the second half of June 2022, and so Microsoft will likely pull the curtain back on the rest of them come Wednesday, June 15. However, that date is not set in stone. It’s also possible Microsoft will wait until Thursday, June 16, or even later to make the announcement, but the most likely scenario is that the new Xbox Game Pass games for the second half of June 2022 will be revealed on June 15. June 15 is also significant because that’s the day thatfive games are leaving Xbox Game Pass.
The next couple of weeks are going to be huge for Xbox Game Pass, with June 12 and June 15 standing out as particularly important dates. Microsoft has teased that it has someXbox Game Pass surprisesup its sleeve this month as well, and so fans should have plenty to look forward to in the days ahead.
