Xbox Game Pass: Huge disappointment for Standard subscribers

First batch of games for Game Pass subscribers. The first half of June offers some very interesting releases, including many titles available on the day they become available worldwide. However, you'll have to pay a premium price to enjoy them, as most of the games offered won't be accessible if you have a standard subscription. Only two of them (the list contains eight) will be available for all players to download.

For your information, the games in bold are those reserved for the Ultimate and PC plans because they are those that arrive on the day of their release in the catalog or those that are part of the EA Play subscription, features unavailable for the standard Game Pass on console.

• Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition(Cloud, PC and Xbox Series X|S) – June 10
• Barbie Project Friendship(Cloud, Console and PC) – June 11
• Kingdom: Two Crowns(PC) – June 11
• EA Sports FC 25 (Cloud, Console and PC) – June 12
• The Alters(Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – June 13

• Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time(Console and PC) – June 17
• Lost in Random: The Eternal Die(Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – June 17
