Xbox Game Pass Premium Games: Herdling and Total Chaos Added on June 4

Herdling and Total Chaos became available on Premium on June 4, giving Premium subscribers immediate access to two new titles across Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Herdling arrives as an atmospheric adventure game, while Total Chaos is billed as a first-person survival horror experience; Total Chaos began life as an award-winning DOOM II total conversion mod and has been fully rebuilt into a standalone survival horror game. Both games are listed for play on Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC, so Premium members can jump in whether they stream or play locally.

’s listing notes that Herdling is joining Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass as well—so the June 4 update for Premium doubles as an early roll-in for wider Game Pass access. Observers tracking the rollout pointed out that the June 4 additions were the only new entries for Game Pass Premium that day, making the pair the complete Premium update for subscribers on that date.

The calendar for the rest of the week tightens the contrast. Xbox Wire also set out additional arrivals: Undisputed is scheduled for June 8 on Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass, and Persona 5 Royal is listed for June 9 on all three services. Two titles arriving on June 11—Beastro and Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions—are listed for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass but not for Premium. That split is the practical friction here: Premium picked up two games on June 4, while other planned June releases land on different Game Pass tiers.

For players on Premium the takeaway is simple and immediate: both Herdling and Total Chaos are playable now on the platforms the listing specifies. Herdling’s emphasis on atmosphere and exploration contrasts with Total Chaos’s rebuilt, hard-edged horror roots, so the two additions broaden the Premium library’s tone in a single day.

The listing does not include an end date for either Herdling or Total Chaos on Xbox Game Pass Premium, leaving how long they remain available unclear. Xbox Wire’s schedule does provide the next firm dates to watch—June 8, June 9 and June 11—when other games arrive across Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass tiers; Premium members who want to track additions and any future tier differences should monitor those updates closely.
