Xbox Game Pass adds Call of Duty: Vanguard in seven-game June 16 to July 6 wave

has revealed the second official roundup for June 2026, and the list runs from June 16 to July 6 with seven games in all. The headline addition is , which arrives as a surprise on June 17 alongside a mix of day-one and tier-specific releases.

Junkster opens the wave on June 16 for and . Vanguard follows a day later for Game Pass Ultimate, and PC Game Pass, while EA Sports FC 26 lands on on June 18. Microsoft also set Abyssus for June 25, RV There Yet? for June 30, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 for July 2, and Winds of Arcana: Ruination for July 6, with those last three all listed for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass.

For subscribers, the useful part is simple: the dates are now pinned down, and the tiers are spelled out. EA’s football series also comes with the usual EA Play perk, including 10% savings on EA digital purchases, while Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is one of the few titles split across all three listed Game Pass paths. The schedule gives July its shape before the month begins, with Vanguard now the most eye-catching name in the group.

There is, however, one wrinkle in the rundown. Pure Xbox said Shift at Midnight and Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition were already on its Game Pass guide, but Microsoft did not mention either title in the official roundup. That leaves the two games in a smaller kind of limbo: previously listed, now absent from the company’s latest announcement. Microsoft had also already made The Elder Scrolls Online available on Xbox on PC on June 2, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty was listed in the article text as coming to Game Pass on June 7, but neither changes the core shape of this new wave.

, in the roundup, asked readers which Xbox Game Pass titles they were most excited for, and said he would give Vanguard a try because World War 2 Call of Duty games are usually good fun, with the campaign hopefully decent. For now, the next confirmed steps are the release dates themselves: Junkster on June 16, Vanguard on June 17, and the rest of the wave rolling out through July 6.
