Microsoft has officially announced two highly anticipated day-one releases coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in June 2025. This follows recent changes to the Game Pass subscription model where most day-one titles are now exclusive to the Ultimate tier. While this may disappoint some subscribers, the Ultimate tier continues to deliver exceptional value with its comprehensive offerings.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate provides members with online multiplayer capabilities, exclusive discounts, and immediate access to all new Xbox and PC game releases. The recent restructuring of subscription tiers means that players who regularly engage in online multiplayer were likely already subscribed to the Ultimate package.

Microsoft maintains its commitment to delivering quality content through regular Game Pass updates. Following recent additions like the critically acclaimed Blue Prince and the upcoming Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, two more exciting titles have been confirmed:

• The Alters (June 13) - An innovative survival experience where players utilize clones to navigate a hazardous alien world
• Rematch (June 19) - A dynamic multiplayer soccer game from the creators of Sifu, featuring fast-paced arcade action

Both titles showcase significant potential, with Rematch particularly anticipated given the developer's successful track record. Game Pass subscribers will have the unique opportunity to experience these games immediately upon release.

While these two titles currently headline June's offerings, Microsoft is expected to reveal additional Game Pass additions during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. This annual event typically showcases numerous upcoming releases and service updates.

In the meantime, subscribers can explore the current April lineup and look forward to May's additions, including the much-anticipated Doom: The Dark Ages. The continuous flow of quality content ensures Xbox Game Pass Ultimate remains one of gaming's most valuable subscriptions.
