Back in April, Microsoft did something a little unorthodox with its Xbox Game Pass announcements. While announcing the new Xbox Game Pass games that would be coming in the near future, it also confirmed two Ubisoft games that would be coming to the service within the "next two months." Microsoft has yet to fully reveal the new Xbox Game Pass games for June 2022, but thanks to the "Coming Soon" section on consoles, we now know when to expect Assassin's Creed Origins and For Honor: Marching Fire Edition to hit the service.
Unless Xbox consoles are displaying inaccurate information, it seems as though For Honor: Marching Fire Edition will be added to Xbox Game Pass on June 1. Assassin's Creed Origins is coming a little later, currently scheduled for a June 7 debut on Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft will likely announce the new Xbox Game Pass games for June 2022 come June 1, so fans will find out then what other titles will be joining these games.
Some Xbox Game Pass subscribers may be confused by the addition of For Honor: Marching Fire Edition since For Honor is already available on Xbox Game Pass. However, For Honor: Marching Fire Edition is a more complete version of Ubisoft's melee-focused online multiplayer game. It adds the Wu Lin faction to the game, plus it will let PC Game Pass subscribers get in on the action as well.
New Xbox Game Pass Games for June 2022
- For Honor: Marching Fire Edition - June 1
- Assassin's Creed Origins - June 7
- Shadowrun Trilogy - June 21
- Escape Academy - June 28
Assassin's Creed Origins, meanwhile, is a landmark release in Ubisoft's long-running open world franchise. Assassin's Creed Origins marked the first game where AC became more of an RPG than a straight-forward action-adventure game. It laid the foundation for what would follow in Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, setting the AC franchise in a bold new direction. There are also rumors that a big Assassin's Creed Origins next-gen upgrade could be on the way soon, so it will be interesting to see if that coincides with its Game Pass debut.
For Honor: Marching Fire Edition and Assassin's Creed Origins aren't the only games confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in June 2022. Two other games are currently confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in June 2022. On June 21, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to the addition of Shadowrun Trilogy, while day one game Escape Academy is coming to Game Pass on June 28. More new Xbox Game Pass games for June 2022 will likely be announced on June 1. At that point, it's likely that Microsoft reveal the new Xbox Game Pass games coming in the first half of June 2022 while also confirming the games that will be leaving in the middle of the month.
