Xbox Game Pass New Games for June 7 Give Fans a Smorgasbord of Genres

gamerant.com:

Typically, Xbox Game Pass adds a game or two on certain days, yet not all game days are created equal. There’s usually at least one day every month or so where more than two games are added, and for June 2022, that day is June 7. Xbox Game Pass will add not one, not two, not three, but a total of four games for subscribers.

Ultimately, it’s going to be a big month for Xbox Game Pass anyway. Microsoft has confirmed there will be some Xbox Game Pass announcements at the Xbox and Bethesda Games showcase, one of which is rumored to be the family plan, and of course, more games are likely to be confirmed. Either way, here’s what fans can expect for the smorgasbord of game genres on June 7: Assassin’s Creed Origins, Chorus, Disc Room, and Spacelines from the Far Out.

Xbox Game Pass is Teasing 'Surprises' for June 2022

Assassin’s Creed Origins, as well as For Honor: Marching Edition, are the two of the known Ubisoft games hitting Xbox Game Pass in June 2022. As many may know, Origins is the first game where Ubisoft moved away from the classic action-adventure style of the older games and began moving into the open-world RPG system.Origins set the foundation on which Odyssey and Valhalla were built, but there are some major differences, of course.

Origins has much more of a genuineAssassin’s Creed story than Odyssey and more so than Valhalla, but its open-world and RPG elements are a little “less” than these other two. In contrast, the parkour of Assassin’s Creed Origins is arguably better than the latter two, and it does feel very much like a midway point between the two styles.

Origins tells the story of how the Hidden Ones, predecessors of the Assassins, came to be through a personal revenge arc that grows into something greater.
