The first wave of games for Xbox Game Pass in June 2023 have been revealed – and while it’s a fairly slim lineup for the month, there’s still a handful of gems to be found. Those in the mood for some skin-crawling horror will find what they’re looking for in Amnesia: The Bunker, a first-person adventure set in the first World War. If a light-hearted, surreal thriller is more your jam, then the odd, internet-inspired Hypnospace Outlaw is also worth a look – and its in-world spinoff game, Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer is also available once you’re done.
There’s also Double Fine’s Stacking on the way for subscribers, a quirky little puzzle game featuring Russian dolls. Then you’ve got some farming sim goodness in Rune Factory 4 Special, and the wholesomeness of Dordogne (a day one release) to round out the early offerings for the month.
Here’s every game landing on Xbox Game Pass in the first wave of titles for June 2023.
