We’re only halfway through June, and we’re already getting another round of title additions (and subtractions) from Xbox Game Pass. However, with every new game coming to the service, there is another game that we must say goodbye to.
In a blog post, Xbox has announced what’s new for Game Pass in the second half of June 2024. There is one game that is available to play right now, some more games that are coming throughout the rest of the month, and a number of games that are leaving the subscription service.
The announcement comes only two weeks after the company hosted its annual Xbox Game Showcase and Call of Duty Direct event, so there’s lots to look forward to in Game Pass — but let’s focus on what’s coming in the next couple of weeks. Let’s jump in.
What’s new on Xbox Game Pass in June 2024 (Wave Two)
Here’s everything that’s coming to Xbox Game Pass in June 2024:
Still Wakes the Deep – June 18th
The first game coming to Xbox Game Pass in the second half of June is Still Wakes the Deep. It will be available on Cloud, Xbox Series S|X, and PC and launch on the service on June 18th.
From the award-winning developers at The Chinese Room comes a terrifying tale of isolation. You are trapped on an oil rig in the North Sea, running from an unknowable horror that has come aboard. With no escape and no way to fight back, all you can do is survive.
My Time at Sandrock – June 19th
The first game to come to Xbox Game Pass in May is My Time at Sandrock, which launches on June 19th and is available on Cloud, Console, and PC.
Just like My Time at Portia, My Time at Sandrock takes place in a wholesome post-apocalyptic world 300 years after the Day of Calamity destroyed most modern technologies. Gather resources to build machines, befriend locals, and defend Sandrock from monsters — all while saving the town from economic ruin!
Keplerth – June 20th
The next game to come to Xbox Game Pass (or should I say PC Game Pass) in June is Keplerth, which launches on June 20th and is available exclusively on PC.

SteamWorld Dig 2 – June 26th
If SteamWorld Dig wasn’t enough, the next game to come to Xbox Game Pass in June is SteamWorld Dig 2, which launches on June 26th and is available on Cloud and Console.

Complete quests, construct various builds, craft a broad range of items, and freely explore locations inspired by both myth and history in this open-world RPG with base-building features.

We only have one new thing in the world of DLC and game updates, and that’s Minecraft: Tricky Trials. The new update launched on June 13th.
