June 2025 is poised to ignite the summer gaming season on Xbox, bringing a fresh wave of new gaming experiences to both console and Game Pass subscribers.
This month’s lineup of new Xbox and Game Pass titles promises a diverse array of thrills, from deeply personal narratives to high-octane action and strategic challenges.
Get ready to dive into exciting new worlds and embark on unforgettable journeys with these standout Xbox and Game Pass titles, all set to release during June 2025.
The Alters: Forge Your Crew from Alternate Selves on Game Pass Day One
Survival takes a deeply personal turn in The Alters, an ambitious sci-fi survival game with a unique twist.
You play as Jan Dolski, the lone survivor of a crash-landed expedition on a hostile planet. To brave the deadly environment and operate his mobile base, Jan must create a crew of “Alters.” These alternative versions of himself are formed using Rapidium, each shaped by a different crucial decision from Jan’s past, and possessing unique skills and emotional depths.
Managing this crew of ‘yourself’ presents both opportunities and challenges, as you navigate personal struggles and fragile group dynamics. Survival demands exploring the planet’s surface in search of vital resources, but venturing outside risks exposing your Alters to deadly anomalies and intense solar radiation, requiring careful planning around the day/night cycle.
The narrative should be rich with moral dilemmas and branching paths, where your choices impact Jan’s relationships with his Alters and shape the journey’s multiple outcomes. Gathered resources allow base expansion, forcing tough decisions between crew needs and mission progression. Explore unique biomes, but beware of visible and invisible anomalies, radiation, and even temporal distortions that can lead to instant death.
This emotional sci-fi story, launching Day One on Game Pass, delves into the profound “what if?” question.

MindsEye: Uncover a Conspiracy in a Neo-Noir Thriller
Step into the dark, rain-slicked streets of a dystopian future in MindsEye, a gripping neo-noir thriller.
You assume the role of Jacob Diaz, a former soldier haunted by fragmented memories of a covert mission, a haunting consequence of his mysterious neural implant, The MindsEye. Your quest is to unearth the truth in a world where unchecked AI, high-tech experimentation, and rampant military power influence every encounter.
Jacob’s pursuit of answers is fraught with peril; shadowy forces at work may prove far more potent and menacing than he could ever anticipate. Prepare for intense combat across varied scenarios – on foot, behind the wheel, and even soaring through the air – where each decision critically impacts your chance of survival.
MindsEye promises an intensely atmospheric journey, expertly blending stealth, intricate investigation, and heart-pounding action within a deceptively deceptive reality.
