The action continues on June 10 with Aleesha’s Tower, an arcade-inspired platformer that draws inspiration from classic 80s and 90s games. Beatdown City Survivors arrives the same day, offering a fresh take on the survivors-like genre with sandbox mechanics and fast-paced combat.

Players looking for a more relaxing experience can try Secret Paws – Cozy Apartments, a hidden-object game centered around finding cats hidden inside colorful apartment rooms.

Meanwhile, UFC 6 will be available as a free 10-hour trial for XBOX Game Pass Ultimate members beginning June 12.

Microsoft Continues Expanding XBOX

The new arrivals come as Microsoft continues to expand the XBOX library across both first-party and third-party releases. The company also remains active on the hardware and platform front, with XBOX leadership recently reaffirming the importance of exclusive content while promising to keep the price of its upcoming Project Helix hardware under control despite its ambitious technology.

In separate XBOX news, Microsoft has also confirmed that several titles will leave XBOX Game Pass later this month, giving subscribers a limited window to complete them before they are removed from the service.
