July is shaping up to be a promising month for Xbox Game Pass users, with a slate of compelling new additions and highly anticipated day-one releases scheduled to join the library. Yet, the excitement is tempered by the inevitable churn of the subscription model, as Microsoft prepares to remove more than a dozen games from the service in the next few days.
Following its established monthly rotation, both Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass will see a fresh wave of departures in July as 12 titles are now confirmed to be leaving the catalog within a matter of weeks.
Xbox is currently undergoing a major restructuring, and significant changes to Game Pass are anticipated in the months ahead. While the recent cuts in Microsoft’s gaming division have left the service’s long-term direction unclear, for now, the usual rotation of content will carry on without interruption.
While these departures will undoubtedly leave a gap in the library, Microsoft is moving swiftly to compensate with an impressive wave of incoming titles. The crown jewel of this month’s arrivals is Halo: Campaign Evolved, a fully enhanced revisit to Master Chief’s original saga, complete with visual upgrades and fresh content.
Additional heavy hitters include the highly anticipated Wuthering Waves, the full 1.0 release of Palworld, and the long-awaited SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed.
Subscribers can already dive into the recently released Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 remastered collection, and later this week, Winds of Arcana: Ruination will become available.
