Xbox Game Pass announces June 2023's second wave

Microsoft has revealed the next batch of Xbox Game Pass games set to arrive on the service as part of the June 2023 lineup, as well as some for July.

While a bit later than usual, Xbox Game Pass' June 2023 lineup has finally been revealed in full with the announcement of the second batch. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to seven more titles coming in the near future. A standout title is Arcade Paradise, which blends management sims like Rollercoaster Tycoon with a splash of 90s arcade games, you'll build a laundromat up into an arcade empire, what's even better is the developers have created over 35 fully playable arcade titles for the game.

In a post on the Xbox Wire, Microsoft also announced that the surprisingly good Need For Speed Unbound would be coming to Xbox Game Pass. The latest game in EA's legendary racing series is a step in the right direction after years of sub-par releases. It doesn't quite release the high points of the series (such as 2010's Need For Speed Hot Pursuit), but Criterion's return to the series after years of being a DICE support studio is a good one.
