Microsoft has announced a wave of 10 new titles hitting Xbox Game Pass this July, bringing a mix of classic remasters, indie projects, and long-awaited full releases to the platform. Subscribers across Ultimate, Standard, PC, and Cloud tiers can look forward to a busy month of gaming.

Mid-July Xbox Game Pass Lineup

The update begins with Winds of Arcana: Ruination on July 6. This story-rich, fully voiced 2.5D action Metroidvania task players with helping the character Aryn navigate a sundered world. Following that, July 9 brings two major additions: the fast-paced arcade corridor shooter Tamashika and Gears of War: Reloaded. The latter is a fully optimized remaster of the original Gears of War, built on Unreal Engine and including all post-launch content, such as multiplayer maps and bonus campaign acts.

As the month progresses, the following titles will round out the library:

  • July 10: Palworld 1.0, which marks the full game release featuring new locations and characters.
  • July 13: Ascend to Zero, a day-one action roguelike focused on time-bending combat.
  • July 14: PBA Pro Bowling 2026, a realistic simulation featuring advanced physics and professional licensing.
  • July 15: Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, a resource-management game set in a collapsing city.
  • July 16: Mavrix by Matt Jones, an open-world multiplayer title designed by the pro Red Bull athlete.
  • July 17: FixForce, a co-op extraction platformer, and Fogpiercer, a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder.
  • July 21: The Planet Crafter, a survival and terraforming title, and the highly anticipated Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 collection.

Additional Perks and Updates

Beyond the primary list of games, Microsoft is expanding benefits for existing subscribers. PC Gaming fans can now access the new League of Legends champion, Locke the Ashen Exorcist, as part of their subscription benefits. Furthermore, Wuthering Waves players on Xbox Series X|S and PC will receive a bundle of rewards following each version update, including an exclusive "Paths and Possibilities" Sigil for those who log in.

While the service continues to expand, Microsoft has reminded users that several titles will be leaving the library soon, with options to purchase games at a discount before they depart. Players are encouraged to check the official Release Dates section of the Xbox app for specific availability on their preferred hardware.
