June is shaping up to be a monumental month for subscribers, with a tidal wave of blockbuster titles and anticipated new releases hitting the cloud. From the much-celebrated Borderlands franchise making its grand entrance to the full launch of Dune: Awakening and the upcoming remaster of a cult classic, there’s plenty to get excited about. Let’s dive into the highlights.
Game Mode Now: Your Angle on Summer Game Fest & Xbox Conference
As we head into a packed summer of gaming news, you can count on us here at Game Mode Now for dedicated coverage from a cloud gaming perspective. We’ll be closely following all the major showcases, including Summer Game Fest and the Xbox conference, to bring you every relevant announcement, new game confirmation, and any surprise arrivals to the service. Our focus remains purely on what matters to you as a player, so stay tuned for our deep dives and rapid updates throughout the event season – just like our recent look at PlayStation’s State of Play. We’re already tracking ongoing developments like the teases for Mafia: The Old Country and opt-ins for titles such as Baby Steps.
Hot This Week in the Cloud – June’s First Wave
The first week of June already sees a strong lineup of diverse titles arriving:
- Symphonia: A gorgeous, music-driven platformer praised for its unique hand-crafted energy.
- Pro Cycling Manager 2025 & Tour de France 2025: The definitive annual strategic simulations for cycling fans.
- Dune: Awakening: Advanced access has begun for the highly anticipated open-world survival MMO, with its full Steam launch set for June 10th.
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 & Sea of Thieves: These popular titles arrive with new storefront support, enhancing library flexibility.
- 7 Days to Die: The fan-favourite zombie survival crafting game makes its long-awaited debut via Xbox PC games.
- Police Simulator: Patrol Officers: This immersive simulation returns with a fresh content update.
- Cubic Odyssey & Drive Beyond Horizons: Two charming indies, offering thoughtful puzzling and fast-paced hovercraft action respectively.
The Borderlands Are Open!
One of the biggest headlines for June is the arrival of the Borderlands franchise. Most of the mainline chaotic looter-shooter series is landing on the service this month, including Borderlands: Game of the Year Enhanced (Steam), Borderlands 2 (Steam, Epic Games Store), and Borderlands 3 (Steam, Epic Games Store). While Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is notably absent for now, this major catalogue addition is a huge win. With Gearbox having confirmed Borderlands 4 for later this year, this GFN rollout feels perfectly timed, fueling speculation about future support for the next instalment – especially with Summer Game Fest looming.
June’s Full Lineup – All The Games Arriving This Month
The excitement doesn’t stop with the first week. The rest of June is bursting with new arrivals. Some of the most anticipated upcoming titles include the unique sci-fi survival game The Alters (June 13th), Remedy’s cooperative shooter FBC: Firebreak (June 17th) set in the Control universe, and the return of a legend with System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster (June 26th).
