Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in late June/very early July, and while there aren’t huge games on offer, there are still some solid additions. Subscribers can look forward to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, Worms Rumble, Iron Harvest, Limbo, the rather divisive Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, and more.

Xbox Game Pass grants players access to more than 100 games for 10 bucks a month — you can check out a full list of available console and PC games here. As always, Microsoft is offering new subscribers a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (which also includes Xbox Live Gold and EA Play subscriptions) for a mere $1.
What Game Pass titles do you plan on tackling over the next few weeks? I’ll admit, I’ve never played Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, and I’m kind of perversely curious.
