Microsoft’s Game Pass is having a very impressive 2025 where the quality and cadence of releases is concerned, and things are showing no signs of slowing down as we settle into the summer months. Highlights of the June lineup include co-op FPS FBC: Firebreak, which joins the service today, Sloclap’s highly-anticipated soccer game, Rematch, and a trio of Warcraft remasters.
Let’s start with probably the most significant addition. Back in May, Engadget’s Jessica Conditt got to play Remedy’s FBC: Firebreakand was tentatively optimistic about what is a pretty major genre-shift for the studio known for single-player games such as Alan Wake and Control (Firebreak is set in the same location as the latter). The important building blocks of a great co-operative shooter were there, and the hope is that Remedy has polished up the experience ahead of launch. FBC: Firebreak also joins PS Plus today as a day one release for both platforms, which should hopefully help get it off the ground.
Also joining today is Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, a roguelite spin-off of 2021’s Lost in Random, that has more than a hint of Hades about it judging by screenshots and fast-paced gameplay clips we’ve seen in the runup to launch.
Another notable Game Pass additions arrives on June 19. Rematchis a soccer game that eschews the more sim-like approach of EA Sports FC in favor of an arcade-style spin on the world’s most popular sport. Matches are 5v5, and you only control one player on your team. There are no offsides, no fouls and no breaks in play, so referees won’t bail you out when something doesn’t go your way. Rematch is the latest game from the Paris-based indie studio Sloclap, who made the incredibly stylish kung fu game, Sifu. It’s no surprise, then, that Rematch’s almost impressionist aesthetic is just as easy on the eye.
It’s also a big month for Game Pass’ ever-growing catalogue of Activision Blizzard games, with the remastered versions of Warcraft I and Warcraft II, as well as Warcraft III: Reforged all being added on June 26. Call of Duty: WWII joins them on June 30. As we head into July, Game Pass subscribers can download or stream Little Nightmares II and Rise of the Tomb Raider, which returns to Microsoft’s service ahead of the game’s 10th anniversary in November.
