Three Games Join Xbox Game Pass This Week, But One Has Been Delayed (June 16-18)
Xbox Game Pass receives three new games this week, though one highly anticipated title has been pushed back. Shift at Midnight, an online co-op detective horror game, was originally scheduled to arrive on Game Pass on June 17th but has now been delayed to the second half of July.
The delay was confirmed via a Steam store update, with developers citing the need for additional development time from external teams to ensure the game meets quality standards. The team emphasized that the extension reflects a commitment to polish rather than any serious underlying issues, stating that external partners are “giving Shift the final attention it needs.”
This marks another adjustment to the game’s release schedule, with developers cautious about committing to a specific date, acknowledging past planning challenges. Despite the setback, the team expressed confidence that the second half of July represents a realistic target window for launch.
While details on the other two Game Pass additions for the week were not fully detailed in the announcement, the service continues to expand its library with both new releases and established titles. For subscribers in the Xbox ecosystem, this week’s additions provide fresh content even as Shift at Midnight’s arrival is pushed further down the road.
