Call of Duty Vanguard

Despite rumors of studios such as Ninja Theory and Compulsion Games facing potential closure, Xbox continues to roll on with Game Pass. The second wave for June has been announced, with Junkster available today for Ultimate and PC subscribers.

On June 17th, Call of Duty: Vanguard will be available. As a successor of sorts to Call of Duty: WW2, it sees players embarking on yet another campaign through World War 2, but this time as a special operations task force called – you guessed it – Vanguard. As far as campaigns go in the series, especially over the last five years, it’s pretty decent.

Other additions include EA Sports FC 26 on June 18th and Abyssus, a rogue-lite shooter with support for up to four players in co-op. If you’re looking for a more stressful experience with friends, indie hit RV There Yet? debuts on June 30th for Ultimate, Premium and PC tiers.

As for next month, it kicks off with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 joining Game Pass Premium on July 2nd. It’s already available for Ultimate and PC subscribers, and while not quite as compelling as the series’ last pair of remakes, there’s still plenty of fun skateboarding action available. On July 6th, all three tiers can look forward to Winds of Arcana: Ruination, a 2.5D Metroidvania that involves venturing through a mysterious world.

And as usual, several titles will leave the service on June 30th. Check them out below:

  • Mecha BREAK (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Payday 2 (Console)
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Slay the Spire (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Ultimate Chicken Horse (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Unpacking (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Volcano Princess (Cloud, Console, and PC)
