Xbox Game Pass Drops 9 New Games in June With Persona 5 Royal Leading the Pack

The timing is no accident, as Metaphor: ReFantazio exited the catalog in late May, leaving subscribers without one of the most acclaimed RPGs in recent years. Atlus steps in on June 9, 2026 with Persona 5 Royal on Cloud, Console, and PC, available to Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass subscribers. The cult JRPG starring the Phantom Thieves promises over a hundred hours of gameplay for anyone who missed it the first time around, making it the standout pick for early June among Atlus fans.

Beyond the return of Persona 5 Royal, Wave 1 leans heavily on Day One releases to flesh out the catalog. Five titles join the service on the same day as their retail launch, starting with Solarpunk on June 8, followed by the busy June 11 slate, with Beastro, Frog Sqwad, and Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions in Game Preview all landing that day, then Junkster on June 16 to close out the wave. According to Insider Gaming estimates, one of the June 11 trio will become the 100th Xbox Game Pass addition this year, a milestone moment for the service just days ahead of the Xbox Games Showcase set for June 7.
