Microsoft has confirmed the first wave of games coming to Xbox Game Pass in June 2024. Highlights include today\u2019s surprise shadow drop of Square Enix\u2019s Octopath Traveler series<\/a>, The Callisto Protocol, and Still Wakes the Deep.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

First up are the aforementioned Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler 2. Octopath Traveler (Cloud, Console, and PC) returns to the Game Pass library today, June 6, whereas Octopath Traveler 2 (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) launches on Xbox and Game Pass for the first time having released on other platforms last year, alongside a new update.<\/p>\n

IGN’s Octopath Traveler review<\/u><\/a> returned a 9.3. We said: “Octopath Traveler’s beautiful style and outstanding take on traditional turn-based combat make it a game that pushes JRPGs forward rather than simply paying homage to the greats.” IGN’s Octopath Traveler 2 review<\/u><\/a> scored a 7: “Octopath Traveler 2 is a very enjoyable JRPG sequel that feels a little too safe and familiar,” we said.<\/p>\n

Moving on, Depersonalization (PC) hits Game Pass on June 12. It\u2019s a tabletop role-playing game inspired by Call of Cthulhu with rich branching narratives. Then, on June 13, Isonzo (Cloud, Console, and PC) is added to Game Pass. This authentic World War 1 first-person shooter is set on the Italian Front. IGN\u2019s Isonzo review<\/a> returned a 7\/10. We said: \u201cIsonzo is a well-made shooter that welcomes all comers to its gorgeous, mountainous World War I multiplayer battlefields, though a lot of that approachability and familiarity comes at the cost of period authenticity and distinctive gameplay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, on June 13, The Callisto Protocol (Cloud, Console, and PC) arrives on Game Pass. This Dead Space spiritual successor launched in December 2022, receiving a 7\/10 from IGN\u2019s review<\/a>. We said: \u201cThe Callisto Protocol is a satisfyingly gory spiritual successor to the Dead Space series, but it\u2019s ultimately more of a striking modern mimic than a scary new mutation.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

And finally, Still Wakes the Deep (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) rounds out wave one on June 18 as a day-one Game Pass launch. This horror game from the studio behind Everybody\u2019s Gone to the Rapture is set on an oil rig off the coast of Scotland.<\/p>\n
