Xbox Is Bringing These Call of Duty and Warcraft Games to Game Pass in June
The Call of Duty franchise got its start as a first-person shooter set during World War Two. On June 30, Game Pass subscribers will be able to return to that war and take part in historical battles in Call of Duty: WWII.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a CNET Editors' Choice award pick, offers hundreds of games you can play on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PC or mobile device for $20 a month. A subscription gives you access to a large library of games, with new titles, like Doom: The Dark Ages, added monthly, plus other benefits, like online multiplayer and deals on non-Game Pass titles.

Rematch
Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers can play on June 19.
Tackle, dribble and score in this team-based football game (or soccer, depending on your locale). This game was designed for 5V5 online multiplayer matches where players control a single athlete. That means you'll have to coordinate and plan with the rest of your team if you want to win. And with no player stats to give one person an advantage over another, coordination is the key to success.
Volcano Princess
Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers can play on June 24.
This game is technically a social simulation game, but you can also call it a parenting game. You're the king of the Volcano Kingdom, and after your wife dies, you have to raise your daughter alone. That means it's up to you to ensure she has everything she needs to grow. You'll explore new hobbies with her, show her court etiquette and watch as she grows and matures.
Against the Storm (console and cloud)
Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can play on June 26.
You have to rebuild civilization after apocalyptic rains brought it all down in this dark fantasy city builder. But instead of focusing on helping a single city or community, in this game, you must build a network of interconnected settlements made of different races to prosper. You'll need to figure out how to make the humans, beavers, harpies, lizards and foxes coexist, or they will all perish.

Little Nightmares 2
Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard subscribers can play on July 1.
"Charming" and "horror" are not usually paired together to describe anything, but those two words work nicely to talk about Little Nightmares. You play as a little boy named Mono who finds a girl locked in a basement. The two of you will work together to open trapdoors, climb huge furniture and survive the terrors of the Pale City.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard subscribers can play on July 1.
This one is returning to Game Pass a few months after Microsoft removed it from the service. This is the second entry in the Survival trilogy of the popular franchise, and it follows Lara Croft as she searches for the legendary city of Kitezh. You'll use stealth and your wits to traverse environments without being noticed by enemies on Croft's first tomb raiding expedition.
Games leaving Game Pass on June 30
While Microsoft is set to add those games to Game Pass soon, the company will also remove six others from the service on June 30. So you still have some time to finish your campaign and any sidequests in these games before you have to buy them separately.

Leak reveals Grok might soon edit your spreadsheets
Leaked code suggests xAI is developing an advanced file editor for Grok with spreadsheet support, signaling the company's push to compete with OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft by embedding AI copilots into productivity tools. 'You can talk to Grok and ask it to assist you at the same time you're editing the files!' writes reverse engineer Nima Owji, who leaked the finding. BREAKING: xAI is working on an advanced FILE EDITOR for GROK! It even supports SPREADSHEETS! You can talk to Grok and ask it to assist you at the same time you're editing the files! — Nima Owji (@nima_owji) June 22, 2025 TechCrunch has reached out to xAI to confirm the findings and learn more. xAI hasn't explicitly detailed its strategy for pursuing interactive, multimodal AI workspaces, but it has dropped a series of announcements that point to how the company is thinking about these tools. In April 2025, xAI launched Grok Studio, a split-screen workspace that lets users collaborate with Grok on generating documents, code, reports, and browser games. It also launched the ability to create Workspaces that let you organize files and conversations in a single place. While OpenAI and Microsoft have similar tools, Google's Gemini Workspace for Sheets, Docs, and Gmail appears to be the most similar to what xAI is reportedly building. Google's tools can edit Docs and Sheets and allow you to chat with Gemini while looking at or editing documents. The difference is that Gemini Workspace only works within Google's own ecosystem. It's not clear what types of files xAI's editor might support aside from spreadsheets, or whether xAI plans to build a full productivity suite that could compete with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. If Owji's findings are true, the advanced editor would be a step towards Elon Musk's ambitions to turn X into an 'everything app' that includes docs, chat, payments, and social media.

Does Our $80,000 Lincoln Nautilus Have a Better Interior Than a $120K Navigator?
The wow factor on our yearlong review 2025 Lincoln Nautilus SUV is its panoramic screen, a marvelous and slick 48 inches of pixels and information spread across the width of the vehicle but placed low enough to not be a distraction. It made its debut on the Nautilus, and the two-row SUV held court for a while. But Lincoln has a new flagship Navigator, and you just knew the Nautilus was about to lose its unique status. The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus arguably offers a superior interior, thanks to its 48-inch screen, better layout, and intuitive controls compared to the pricier Navigator. Despite its smaller size, the Nautilus provides a more tailored experience, appealing to tech-savvy buyers. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next As our long-term Nautilus' chaperone, I was keen to check the 2025 Lincoln Navigator out myself. Could the newer and more expensive vehicle do the big screen thing better? The answer is yes and no. Both SUVs have the 48-inch panoramic screen and a separate 11.1-inch infotainment screen to control the expansive display. Both feature the intuitive Lincoln Digital Experience user interface to run Google programs, as well as Apple CarPlay or Android Auto phone mirroring. Being newer, the Navigator launched with a few more apps and goodies than our Nautilus has, such as a light mode for daytime viewing, which will eventually also be deployed on the Nautilus. Some of the other additional apps have already been added via over-the-air updates, such as a Quick Tips app that can be downloaded from the Google Play Store to help owners better use the system. Also new: a Sirius XM sports widget to show the score during a live game. Size Matters Because the Navigator is a much larger—and more important, wider—vehicle, its screen doesn't extend fully from one side of the vehicle to the other. Lincoln's designers cleverly placed speakers on each end for aesthetics, but it means all the displays shift slightly versus where they are in our Nautilus. Instead of having the speedometer directly in front of the driver, it has moved a bit to the right. It is still easy to see in the Navigator, but the slight relocation bothered at least one editor. We recognize it would likely have been prohibitively expensive to develop a wider screen, and we are all for keeping costs down and vehicles more affordable, but at the same time Lincoln is asking $102,190 for a base Navigator. We get the rationale, but we award points to the smaller Nautilus for its more tailored look. Software Can Fix This, Right? Perhaps Lincoln can rearrange the Navigator's graphics on the programmable digital space on the screen to make the speedometer more front and center and move some less vital information closer to the left pillar. An over-the-air update should do the trick. This is how Lincoln will continue to add some of the features and apps now on the Navigator to the Nautilus, such as the Quick Tips app that has already made its way to the smaller SUV. Another offshoot of the Navigator's sheer size: The control screen might feel a bit too low and out of reach because the vehicle is so big and the screen is integrated into the dashboard. The Nautilus is smaller, and the screen is mounted higher on the dash, making it easier to access. What About the Lincoln Aviator? If you are wondering why we compared the Nautilus to the Navigator and skipped the middle man, the smaller three-row Aviator, that's because the 2025 Aviator did not get the splendid screen as part of its refresh. It has a 13.2-inch center touchscreen—an improvement over the outgoing model but a far cry from the 48-inch screen on the smaller and more affordable Nautilus, which struck us as odd. We were told the splashier screen went into the Nautilus because the two-row SUV attracts a younger, techier, more metropolitan buyers while the Aviator is more family-oriented. We still think families would have liked the bigger screen in their Aviator, but at least Lincoln recognized the flagship Navigator needed the wow factor of the panoramic screen. The piano key gearshift is nicer in our Nautilus Black Label, a sparkling silver and integrated into the dash. The Navigator Black Label we drove had glossy black buttons incorporated into the center console, to the right of the ignition button, a location that puts the gearshift farther from the driver's reach. The ignition button is on the dash in the Nautilus, another location we prefer to the larger Navigator. One placement improvement where the Navigator wins: The button to open the rear hatch is still left of the steering wheel, but it's higher up and easier to see and use. The Nautilus houses its button lower where it is harder to get at, alongside the button to release the fuel door—thankfully the Navigator does not require that. The Navigator also has an angled wireless phone charging, but instead of being up at the front and angled toward you, it's now side by side with the cupholders. We recognize the Nautilus and Navigator buyers are not the same and have different needs. But the fact that our Nautilus keeps up with and in some ways surpasses the flagship three-row is a testament to the high-end nature of our long-term vehicle.
