Six new games will be added to Microsoft's gaming subscription by the end of the month - including a highlight for sports fans.

After Microsoft added six new games to the Game Pass in the first half of the month, six more games will be added to the subscription in the second half of June. In view of the current European Football Championship in Germany, EA Sports FC 24 is likely to be the highlight for most people. But sandbox, survival and Metroidvania fans will also find a treat or two.

EA Sports FC 24 - June 25 (PC, console and cloud)

Among other things, players can complete an entire season with their favorite team or open loot boxes in Ultimate Team mode and put together their own team. However, there are also some new features that set FC 24 apart from FIFA 23. These include the HyperMotion V function, which uses machine learning to create smoother and more realistic animations. Also new: the PlayStyles, which are designed to bring individual playing styles and characteristics of the real soccer stars into the game.
