Microsoft has announced Wave 1 of the June 2025 Xbox Game Pass lineup, which includes a shadow-drop of Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2.
As detailed on Xbox Wire, Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Editions (Cloud and Console) are available today, June 5, on Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass Standard. Perfect timing for anyone who’s wrapped up Baldur’s Gate 3 and wonders how the series began. Bizarrely, neither game is on PC Game Pass.
Moving on to June 10, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) hit Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. This is the reworked first Space Marine game, which comes with quality of life and graphics improvements. Again, it’s well-timed for anyone who played the excellent Space Marine 2 and wants to experience the events leading up to that game.
June 11 sees two very different games hit Game Pass: Barbie Project Friendship (Cloud, Console, and PC) on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard; and Kingdom: Two Crowns (PC) on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
With the soccer season over, EA Sports FC 25 (Cloud, Console, and PC) launches on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass via EA Play. EA usually puts its latest soccer game into Game Pass this time of year, ahead of the announcement of the next game in the series.
The Alters (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) is available as a day-one title on June 13 across Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. This is a sci-fi survival game where you play as Jan, stranded on a hostile planet, and create alternate versions of yourself.
Remedy’s FBC: Firebreak (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) is another day-one title, launching on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on June 17. It’s a cooperative first-person shooter set within the Control universe, and a rare multiplayer effort from the maker of Alan Wake and Max Payne.
Here’s a big one: Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time (Console and PC) hits Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard on June 17. Microsoft has drip-fed Activision games into Game Pass since its $69 billion acquisition, so this one is a long time coming.
Also on June 17 is Lost in Random: The Eternal Die (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass as a day-one title. This blends dynamic real-time action, tactical combat, and risk-reward dice mechanics in battles.
