Xbox Game Pass Adds Day-One Platformer Junkster to June Lineup
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Stormcloud Games' new 3D platformer Junkster has arrived as a day-one launch on Xbox Game Pass for PC and Ultimate subscribers, rounding out a busy month of additions to Microsoft's service.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers have a fresh day-one title to add to their backlogs with the release of Stormcloud Games' 3D action platformer, Junkster. Available now for Ultimate and PC members, the game drops players into the metallic shoes of UM-13, a small construction robot stranded on a hazardous junkyard planet following a crash landing. Armed with only a trusty robo-wrench, you need to scavenge lost cargo, recover valuable artifacts, and patch up your ship to escape.
The gameplay blends traditional platforming with creative building mechanics, encouraging you to turn ordinary trash into functional tools and structures to solve environmental puzzles. It is a neat loop that fits right into the indie landscape that often thrives on subscription services. For a platform like Game Pass, day-one launches like this give smaller projects a massive discoverability boost, letting players spin up a fresh experience without dropping a separate thirty dollars on a whim.
This addition caps off a remarkably busy first half of June for Microsoft's service. Subscribers have already seen a diverse drop of titles hit the library, ranging from the cozy survival of Solarpunk and the deckbuilding food sim Beastro to heavy hitters like Persona 5 Royal. As subscription services continue to shape how we sample and share games across console, PC, and cloud, day-one indie drops remain the best testing ground for creative concepts.
