Xbox Game Pass reveals upcoming games for June 2026

Xbox Game Pass still has a lot to offer fans in June 2026, with the service getting even more games in the second half of the month.

EA Sports FC 26 joins Xbox Game Pass tiers after receiving free World Cup DLC

Starting June 18, EA's latest soccer sim is available on two tiers of service: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Although it's not a day one catalog addition, the fact that it's technically part of the EA Play catalog means EA Sports FC 26 it is not expected to ever join the XGP Premium library. The soccer sim will arrive on the service in time to take advantage of the latest FIFA World Cup, which kicked off on June 11 and is co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. At the beginning of June, EA Sports FC 26 also received the 2026 World Cup DLC pack, which Xbox Game Pass users can now access at no additional cost.

Microsoft's subscription service currently has one more high-profile option for subscribers experiencing football fever: Football Manager 26. The latest entry in Sports Interactive's long-running line of management sims is available on Xbox Game Pass from its launch in November 2025. Unlike EA Sports FC 26, Football Manager 26 can also be played with a Premium level subscription that originally joined Microsoft's middle tier of services in April 2026.

The second half of June 2026 is a bit lighter on Xbox Game Pass releases compared to the first. Currently, only two more titles are scheduled to join Microsoft's catalog by the end of the month: the first-person co-op roguelite Abyss on June 25 and a day-one friendslop game RV still there? June 30. This slower pace is not unusual for June, as the service often sees fewer additions at the start of the summer.
