Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has welcomed Volcano Princess to its ever-expanding library, marking the 12th major addition to the service in June 2025. This unconventional role-playing game from Chinese developer Egg Hatcher introduces players to a heartwarming yet challenging parenting simulation set in a vibrant fantasy world.

Originally launched on Steam in April 2023, Volcano Princess makes its console debut on June 24, arriving simultaneously on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S platforms through Microsoft's subscription service. The game blends traditional RPG mechanics with social simulation elements, tasking players with guiding a young girl's development as her sole guardian in a kingdom blessed by volcanic deities.

The game joins an impressive lineup of June releases for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers:

With over 39,000 'Overwhelmingly Positive' Steam reviews, Volcano Princess has established itself as a standout social simulation experience. While lacking extensive critical coverage, its strong player reception suggests Xbox Game Pass subscribers are in for a unique gaming experience that combines emotional storytelling with strategic decision-making.

The game's arrival follows 11 Bit Studios' The Alters (added June 13) and precedes several major July releases including Little Nightmares 2 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4. Microsoft continues to expand its subscription offerings with a mix of day-one releases and beloved classics, maintaining Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's position as one of gaming's most comprehensive services.
