Xbox Game Pass is adding another June wave headlined by Call of Duty: Vanguard, according to the latest service update reported by Windows Central. The batch also includes a mix of sports, skating, and smaller games across cloud, console, and PC.
The inclusion of Vanguard is notable because it remains one of the more divisive entries in the Call of Duty catalog. Game Pass gives players a low-friction way to revisit it without committing to a separate purchase, especially after years of patches and playlist changes.
The wave also helps Microsoft keep Call of Duty visible inside Game Pass as the company continues to justify the long-term value of its Activision Blizzard acquisition. Even older or less-loved entries can matter if they fill the service calendar and keep the franchise in regular rotation.
For subscribers, the June lineup is less about one universally loved drop and more about variety. It shows how Game Pass can function as both a discovery tool and a second-chance platform for games that had complicated launches.
