Xbox Game Pass continues to amaze with the value it offers subscribers, and it’s showing no signs of letting up. June 2024’s new Game Pass games lineup not only brings some excellent older titles to subscribers, but it’s laden with brand-new, day-one releases too.
The full Xbox Game Pass games library is already bursting at the seams, and it includes some of the best games of all time. But here we’ll bring you the confirmed lineup of new Xbox Game Pass titles for this month and highlight the ones we think you absolutely must play. From charming indies, to first-party Xbox exclusives, to some of the best-selling games of all time, any new additions will be listed here. We’ll also list any confirmed, leaked, or rumored new Game Pass games for next month too.

Below we’ve highlighted the biggest addition to this month’s lineup so far that you should definitely pick up and play when it arrives.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2
While your average Smash or MultiVersus player will probably sneer at Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, it’s their loss. Though it didn’t take off in the same way Player First’s fighting game did last year, NASB2 is a fantastic fighter that marks a drastic improvement across the board from its predecessor.
Whether you’re working through its campaign, taking on its bosses, or, of course, clowning on other players in PvP, NASB2 deserves way more love than it initially received. The roster bangs, by the way – Avatar The Last Airbender’s Prince Zuko was added back in April, and uncle Iroh himself is set to arrive at some point.
Yes, NASB2 isn’t perfect, and there are still bugs and glitches here are there, but that shouldn’t stop you from checking it out on Game Pass.
Neon White
Neon White has been a bit of a unicorn when it comes to Xbox Game Pass. Last year it was announced that Angel Matrix’s exquisite card-based speedrunning FPS game would be coming to the service, but since then it’s been radio silence. That is until an Achievement list surreptitiously spawned a few days before it was finally confirmed for this month.
As White, you’re the leader of a crack team of Hell-based assassins drafted up to Heaven to take care of its demon problem. But what’s in it for you and your fellow Neons? A cushty spot up in paradise, that’s what.
Boasting a breakcore-infused soundtrack brought to you by none other than Machine Girl and frenetic gameplay that’ll quickly get you hooked, Neon White is a must-play. Angel Matrix even got voice acting royalty Steve Blum (Spike Spiegel, Cowboy Bebop and Brimstone, Valorant) to lend his talents to White – need we say more?
Dungeons of Hinterberg
If you want even more social sim goodness, this time blended with a stylish ARPG, then Dungeons of Hinterberg will be yours to play on day one when it launches on July 18.
Set in the Austrian Alps, Dungeons of Hinterberg does what it says on the can. With a sword in hand and a tourist guide in your inventory, you’ll get to take to the stunning region’s magical dungeons in search of magic to learn, loot to plunder, and monsters to slay.
Microbird Games – itself based in Austria – looks to be doing something special with Dungeons of Hinterberg, and we can’t wait to see how it materializes.
Next month’s new Game Pass games
We already know some of the games that will be hitting Game Pass in August. They are:
- Creatures of Ava (Xbox Series X|S, TBC)
- Sopa (Console, TBC)
