Xbox Game Pass: Ridiculous Hype Train

by

Summary

  • Xbox Game Pass continues to offer exciting day one releases in 2025.
  • June 2025 is already stacked with all kinds of exciting games coming to Game Pass.
  • The rest of the summer is looking strong, with other major Game Pass games coming later in 2025 as well.

It’s clear that Xbox Game Pass has been enjoying a winning streak lately, and it looks like this trend isn’t slowing down for its subscribers anytime soon. Unfortunately, Microsoft caused some discontent among subscribers when they decided to divide Xbox Game Pass into different tiers, with the majority of day one releases being exclusive to the Ultimate tier and PC Game Pass. However, on a positive note, these day one games have been exceeding expectations.

2025 is poised to be an exceptional year for Xbox Game Pass, surpassing previous years’ achievements. The momentum began modestly in January, but the month culminated with the inclusion of critically acclaimed “Citizen Sleeper 2” and the unanticipated release of “Ninja Gaiden 2 Black”. February brought the long-awaited debut of “Avowed” and a game nominated for Game of the Year, “Balatro”. March offered games such as the early access version of “33 Immortals” and the popular action survival game “Atomfall”. However, it was in April 2025 that Xbox Game Pass truly began to sizzle, with an impressive lineup including “South of Midnight”, “Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition”, “Blue Prince”, “GTA 5”, “Towerborne”, “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered”, and “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33”, among others.

Come May 2025, it’s shaping up to be a strong contender among Game Pass’s best months, but April certainly held its ground too. The new additions to Xbox Game Pass for May 2025 have been nothing short of impressive so far. They include titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Dredge, Revenge of the Savage Planet, Doom: The Dark Ages, and Monster Train 2, with even more games set to join the roster soon. Game Pass subscribers are in for a treat, as there’s always something new and top-notch to play on the service. For instance, the Game of the Year nominee Metaphor: ReFantazio is scheduled for release on May 29, while the June 2025 lineup already promises to be a powerhouse.
