Xbox Game Pass subscribers are getting new games, UFC 6 early access, and major announcements as Microsoft rolls out its June 2026 updates.
Microsoft has started rolling out the first wave of Xbox Game Pass updates for June 2026, bringing new game additions, early access trials, subscriber perks, and a few notable departures from the library.
New Xbox Game Pass Additions in June 2026
The early June lineup includes several new titles across console, PC, and cloud gaming. Microsoft is continuing its focus on day-one launches, indie releases, and third-party partnerships to strengthen the Game Pass catalog. The company is expected to reveal additional titles during the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase on June 7, 2026.
EA Sports UFC 6 Early Access Trial
One of the biggest perks this month is a 10-hour early access trial for EA Sports UFC 6 available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers beginning June 12. Players can carry their progress into the full game if they decide to purchase it later, and subscribers receive a purchase discount.
Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass
As is customary each month, several games are scheduled to leave the service. Microsoft typically updates the "Leaving Soon" section in the Game Pass app before removals occur, giving subscribers time to finish titles or purchase them at a discount. Recent removal waves throughout 2026 have included major games and indie favorites.
