  • The addition extends a busy June for Game Pass, which has kept up a steady flow of new titles across Xbox consoles, PC, cloud and handheld devices.
  • Recent June arrivals include Solarpunk, Undisputed, Persona 5 Royal, Beastro, Frog Squwad and Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions.
  • Junkster’s launch reinforces Microsoft’s strategy of mixing major releases with smaller indie games that can gain visibility through day-one Game Pass access.
