Xbox has announced the second wave of titles heading to Xbox Game Pass this month, now that all of Wave 1’s content has been added. Going live on June 22 are Need for Speed Unbound (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S via EA Play) and The Bookwalker (Console and PC). Need for Speed Unbound is the latest entry in the longtime street racing franchise, and was released on November 29, 2022.
