June has arrived, bringing with it a fresh lineup of games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to enjoy. This month’s offerings include both new releases and returning favorites. Among the standout titles are Octopath Traveler, the critically acclaimed HD-2D RPG from 2018, and its long-awaited sequel. Both games are now available for players to delve into and experience the captivating worlds they offer.
One of the highlights of this month’s additions is the arrival of Depersonalization on June 12th, followed by Isonzo and The Callisto Protocol on June 13th, and Still Wakes The Deep on June 18th. Fans of atmospheric and immersive gaming experiences will find plenty to enjoy among these diverse titles, each offering a unique gameplay experience that is sure to captivate players.
Fans of the original Octopath Traveler will be delighted to see its return to Game Pass after a brief absence. Originally released in 2021, the game left the service last year but is now back, coinciding with its launch on PS4 and PS5. Its sequel, Octopath Traveler 2, is also making its Game Pass debut, allowing players to continue their journey in the enchanting universe crafted by the developers.
