Scheduled to join the Xbox Game Pass service on Thursday, June 22, The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales is an exciting addition to the first wave of games for June 2023. As subscribers eagerly await the announcement of games for the second half of the month, Microsoft has yet to reveal the official lineup at the time of writing. However, fans have already been informed about the games that will be departing from the Xbox Game Pass service on June 30, including DJ Max Respect V, Empire of Sin, Matchpoint: Tennis Championships, Omori, Olija, and Road 96.
The Xbox Game Pass lineup will unfortunately be losing some games, but gamers can look forward to new additions taking their place. While Microsoft has not yet revealed all the new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in June 2023, fans can expect to try The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales starting June 22.
For those who are unfamiliar with the game, The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales is a captivating story-driven game that allows players to venture from the real world into the enchanting worlds of books to gather useful items. With its alternating first-person viewpoint and isometric perspective, the game boasts a unique and visually striking aesthetic. As for its gameplay experience, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will have the opportunity to play it themselves on June 22 and determine whether it is a valuable addition to the Game Pass library or not.
In addition to The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales, nine other indie games were confirmed as part of the extended version of the Xbox Games Showcase. These include Another Crab's Treasure, Galacticare, Harold Halibut, Little Kitty Big City, Mineko's Night Market, Neon White, Sea of Stars, Techtonica, and The Wandering Village.
However, the Xbox Game Pass offers more than just indie games. There are also highly anticipated, big budget titles on the horizon. Two notable games set to release in 2023 are Bethesda's open world sci-fi RPG Starfield and the long-awaited next-generation Forza Motorsport game.
