Naraka Bladepoint has finally released for Xbox and you can crossplay with PC even though there is restrictions to the cross platform multiplayer and cross-progression.
It is the final Game Pass June 2022 title. Far Cry 5 is set to come out on July 1st, but there’s nothing else for Microsoft subscribers this month.
