Summary
Game Passwill see several new additions in July 2024, but a few games will also be leaving the service. Game Pass is Microsoft’s signature subscription program for distributing video games on Xbox, PC, and cloud streaming. It includes hundreds of games, available to download and play instantly for a monthly subscription fee. But its library is ever-changing, with old games rotating out and new games rotating in each month. This ensures there’s always something new on Game Pass, but can also mean players will miss out on hidden gems.
In recent months,Game Pass has built its library of day-one releases, with many brand-new games dropping on the service at release. But it’s also known for collecting older games, both sleeper hits and acclaimed blockbusters. July 2024 has a little bit of both, with a blend of brand-new titles and recent classics coming to Xbox and PC Game Pass in the first wave of releases this month.
