Xbox Game Pass subscribers have even more to look forward to this summer with the reveal of a brand-new day-one release: Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault. The follow-up to the 2018 hit action-RPG is set to launch on Xbox Game Pass sometime in summer 2025, bringing a fresh visual style and updated mechanics to fans of the original.
In Moonlighter 2, players once again balance their lives as daring dungeon explorers by night and savvy shopkeepers by day. This time around, however, the game leaves behind its beloved pixel-art aesthetic in favor of a stunning new 3D presentation. The game will still feature the core loop of battling monsters, looting valuable items, and selling your spoils—only now with new locations, enemies, and mechanics to master.
Xbox hasn’t confirmed an exact release date for Moonlighter 2, but what we do know is that it will be available via XGPU Sale on day one. This means subscribers will be able to play the game at no extra cost the moment it launches, making the service a perfect fit for indie and RPG fans alike.
The summer 2025 schedule for Xbox Game Pass is shaping up nicely. Other confirmed day-one releases include The Alters, a survival game launching June 13, and Rematch, a soccer title set for release on June 19. In addition, fans can mark their calendars for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, a remake mashup of the classic skating games that will be dropping on July 11.
With more announcements likely in the coming months, Xbox Game Pass continues to prove itself as one of the best deals in gaming. Players looking to access all these titles as they launch should consider Buy Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which provides day-one access to hundreds of games across console, PC, and the cloud.
