Xbox Game Pass adds Need for Speed before price increase kicks in

Xbox announced this week the next wave of games coming to Game Pass in June, with this wave splashing over into the first week of July. While this cluster of games only contains one new launch, it also has a few major recent releases. This is the first announcement of new games since Xbox confirmed it’s increasing the monthly price of an Xbox Game Pass subscription. This wave of games will be the last ones added before the price goes up.

The titles coming this week are both the aforementioned day one launch — adventure game The Bookwalker — and a major release — Need for Speed Unbound, which launched last November. Both join the service today, June 22. Most of the rest of the games join next week. These include action-adventure game Bramble: The Mountain King (June 27), metroidvania F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch (June 27) and classic farming sim Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town (June 29).
