Summary
- Xbox Games Showcase on June 8 will reveal exciting new releases for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
- Game Pass Ultimate offers day one releases, providing significant value for subscribers.
- Rumors suggest major projects will be showcased at the event on June 8.
Sunday, June 8 is going to be an exciting day for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, as that is when the Xbox Games Showcase will reveal all kinds of exciting announcements for the service. Xbox Game Pass has been the cornerstone to Microsoft's gaming strategy this generation. Game Pass is available across Xbox consoles, PC, and mobile, with the goal to get as many people signed up as possible.
The biggest selling point of an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription is that it receives brand-new, day one releases. Day one Xbox Game Pass games give the Ultimate tier significant value, to the point where if one was planning on buying the day one games individually, the service practically pays for itself. Those interested in day one Xbox Game Pass games need to circle June 8 on their calendars, as that's when they can expect many more to be revealed and existing ones to get exciting updates.
The Xbox Game Pass Hot Streak is Getting Ridiculous at This Point
The Xbox Game Pass subscription service has been on a generational roll these last few months, and there really doesn't seem to be an end in sight.
The annual Xbox Games Showcase will take place on Sunday, June 8 at 10am PT. The event has traditionally been a massive occasion for Xbox Game Pass with the vast majority of games on display day one releases. While there will likely be a handful of non-Game Pass games shown off, fans can expect that trend to continue with this year's showcase. No specific games have been confirmed for the event besides Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds 2, but there are plenty of rumors about what Xbox Game Pass subscribers can expect.
When is the Xbox Games Showcase for 2025?
- Sunday, June 8 at 10am PT
Chances are good that Xbox will use the highlight to highlight major projects like Gears of War: Reloaded and the new Fable game. Rumor has it that the event may also be home to some kind of Persona-related announcement as well, which would make sense considering the strong relationship that has been established between Xbox and Atlus these last few years. Multiple Persona games have been featured on Game Pass, with Persona 3 Reload a day one release, and Atlus' Metaphor: ReFantazio coming to the service on May 29.
There have also been rumors that the elusive Hollow Knight: Silksong will be at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. Hollow Knight: Silksong is a day one Game Pass game, but there have been many big gaming events where the game was expected to show up, only for it to be MIA. Silksong has been featured at Xbox Games Showcase events in the past, and so it's entirely possible it will be at the one on June 8, but it's best for fans to keep their expectations in check.
No matter what is shown off at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, we know that the show will be exciting for Game Pass subscribers. Those interested in seeing what the future of Xbox Game Pass has in store should definitely be sure to mark their calendars for Sunday, June 8 at 10am PT.
