Even in June, owners of the Xbox Game Pass can expect a new selection of games. Again, it is a wide range of titles. MeinMMO shows you which games you can look forward to this month.
What is the highlight in June? In addition to some other cool titles, the highlight in June is a big multiplayer game from Ubisoft: For Honor. We introduce you to the game and explain why it is so popular.
When is For Honor available? From June 3rd, you can play For Honor on consoles and via the cloud. Unfortunately, PC players are left empty-handed.
What kind of game is it? For Honor is a multiplayer game that sends you into melee with axes, swords, and other weapons. These are brutal, fast, but also tactically influenced. On the battlefield, it’s worth keeping a cool head; blind brawling will be quickly punished.
You assume the role of different fighters, each of whom has special characteristics and equipment. The combat system focuses primarily on combos, parries, blocks, and feints. The focus is on dueling and teamwork.
For Honor has different modes where you meet rather in smaller groups, such as in 4-vs-4, and less large battles with dozens of participants.
For Honor is also on our list of the 7 unique MMOs and multiplayer games that have no real alternative. This trailer for a character gives you an impression of the game:
This is how For Honor is rated:
- The current metascore is 79. The user score is 5.8 (via metacritic.com).
- Players especially praise the scope, the technically optimized state of the game, and the good gameplay.
- Some criticize the in-game shop of For Honor, which invites spending money even though it is a full-price game.
- Others complain that it could become repetitive after some hours of gameplay.
For Honor is especially something for fixed groups that can coordinate and communicate. So if you’re looking for a game to play with friends, you should definitely try For Honor.

What is the Xbox Game Pass? It is a subscription service that allows access to over 100 games for Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X/S and PC. The most expensive version of the subscription is the Xbox Game Pass, which costs a maximum of 12.99 euros per month. The Xbox Game Pass can also be described as a kind of Netflix for games .
Thanks to a special method, it is even possible to save some money. However, be aware that not every game in the Xbox Game Pass is available for the Xbox consoles and PC. The offer also changes monthly.
Microsoft is continuously working to expand the Game Pass offering. Meanwhile, the offer is very extensive on both consoles and PC. Even the subscription model “EA Play” from Electronic Arts is part of the Ultimate Game Pass and thus expands the offer by some games from the publisher.
In May, one of the best survival games was added to the Xbox Game Pass: We show you who it is worth it for.
