Some absolute heaters are coming to Xbox, free of charge, over the next month, and the lineup is making PlayStation Plus look ridiculous by comparison.
Thank you to Xbox Era's Jesse 'Doncabesa' Norris for the original source on this one!
Nine games are about to land on Xbox Game Pass starting from today, but six games are leaving alongside them.
The nine games that will be available (the first of which lands on the 19th) are: Rematch, Volcano Princess, Against the Storm, Warcraft I: Remastered (PC), Warcraft II: Remastered (PC), Warcraft III: Reforged (PC), Call of Duty: WWII, Little Nightmares II, and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

And the six games that will be leaving, all of which leave on June 30th, are: Arcade Paradise, Journey to the Savage Planet, My Friend Peppa Pig, Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders, SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Dig 2.
Whoa, hold up, we’re losing My Friend Peppa Pig?! Stop the presses, Microsoft must rectify this mistake and extend the license ASAP.
Alright, jokes aside, this is a pretty great list. Plus, it’s made all the better by the fact that bangers such as The Elder Scrolls Oblivion: Remastered, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Metaphor: ReFantazio have landed on Xbox Game Pass over the past couple of months, too.
Getting Rematch on day one is a big deal, personally, and I’m kind of surprised Sony hasn’t gone out of their way to get that one onto PlayStation Plus. If that doesn’t end up being one of next month’s PlayStation Plus Essential titles, they’re really dropped the ball (hah, get it? It’s a football game).
I don’t think it’s much of a secret at this point that Xbox Game Pass is way better value for money than PlayStation Plus, but seeing this new line-up of games alongside Sony’s PlayStation Extra/Premium offerings really puts things into perspective for me (and every other PlayStation Plus subscriber, apparently).
