New on Xbox Game Pass in early June

Every month, Xbox brings new titles to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

Normally, these come in two waves and now, the company has revealed what’s hitting Game Pass in the first half of June. Notably, Assassin’s Creed Origins and For Honor were developed by Ubisoft Montreal. Additionally, Spacelines from Far Out is available on day one with Game Pass.

  • For Honor: Marching Fire Edition (Cloud, Console and PC) – June 1st
  • Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection (Console and PC) – June 2nd
  • Assassin’s Creed Origins (Cloud, Console and PC) – June 7th
  • Chorus (Cloud, Console and PC) ID@Xbox –  June 7th
  • Disc Room (Cloud, Console and PC) ID@Xbox – June 7th
  • Spacelines from the Far Out (Console and PC) ID@box – June 7th

Here are the games leaving Game Pass on June 15th.

  • Darkest Dungeon (Cloud, Console and PC)
  • Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance (Cloud, Console and PC)
  • Greedfall (Cloud, Console and PC)
  • Limbo (Cloud, Console and PC)
  • Worms Rumble (Cloud, Console and PC)

It’s worth noting that on June 12th Xbox and Besthesda will have a games showcase showing off some of the games coming in the future. At the event, I wouldn’t be shocked if they have more announcements for Game Pass in June.

As always, Game Pass subscribers can take advantage of an exclusive 20 percent discount to purchase any game in the catalogue and keep playing even after it leaves Game Pass.

Xbox Game Pass is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Android and iOS in beta. Game Pass for Console and PC Game Pass each cost $11.99/month.

Further, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $16.99/month and is required for streaming (which Xbox refers to as ‘Cloud’) to mobile devices and browsers. On top of that, this tier includes Game Pass for both Console and PC, as well as subscriptions to Xbox Live Gold and EA Play.

Earlier, Xbox also announced what will be coming to Xbox Games with Gold this June as well.

Valve’s Gabe Newell ‘more than happy’ to bring Microsoft’s Game Pass to Steam

Valve co-founder and president Gabe Newell isn’t interested in doing a Steam game subscription service but is open to bringing Microsoft’s Game Pass to Steam.

Newell did an interview with PC Gamer about the recent Steam Deck release. However, the publication also asked him whether Valve wanted to make its own subscription service like Microsoft’s Game Pass.

“I don’t think it’s something that we think we need to do ourselves, building a subscription service at this time. But for their customers it’s clearly a popular option, and we’d be more than happy to work with them to get that on Steam,” Newell said.

“We’ve talked to people there quite a bit about that topic. If your customers want it, then you should figure out how to make it happen. That’s where we’re at.”

So, it sounds like we won’t see a “Steam Pass” subscription (or whatever Valve would call it). However, Microsoft’s Game Pass on Steam is also quite intriguing. Some people have had issues with how the service handles installing and managing games on PC, while other games have had issues or missing features on Game Pass. If people were able to use Steam to handle game installs instead, it might make Game Pass more popular.

Moreover, as PC Gamer points out, there is precedent for Steam hosting other subscription services. EA added its EA Play subscription to Steam in 2020. Moreover, Steam support for Game Pass could open the subscription up to Steam Deck owners. Currently, Steam Deck runs Linux, which means Game Pass isn’t available — it uses Microsoft’s Xbox app, which doesn’t exist for Linux.

That said, PC Gamer notes that Steam Deck owners may be able to play Game Pass without the need for Linux support in the future. Valve and AMD are reportedly still working on driver compatibility to allow installing Windows on Steam Deck — once that’s sorted out, Steam Deck owners may be able to install Windows and access Game Pass that way.

Regardless, Game Pass on Steam depends on Microsoft too. Valve is clearly open to the idea, but it remains to be seen if Microsoft is — judging by previous comments, it might be. In August 2021, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said there were “no plans to bring [Game Pass] to any other kind of closed platforms right now” in response to questions about putting the subscription service on the Nintendo Switch.

Instead, Spencer said the team was focussing on “open platforms” but acknowledged that Xbox was open to discussions about bringing the “full experience to a device that players want.” Maybe that sentiment includes game distribution platforms like Steam too.
