Following an eclectic drop of games at the start of July including Ascend to Zero, The PBA Pro Bowling 2026 and more, the latest wave of games for XBOX Game Pass has some big hitting titles. Featuring seven new games across all tiers, there’s plenty of mature games to come in the weeks ahead.
The XBOX Games Studios headline of the new titles is of course, Halo: Campaign Evolved which arrives Day One on July 28. Be sure to keep an eye out to Gamer Social Club for our full review when the embargo lifts on Thursday 23 July.
Also joining the service Day One is the highly anticipated Beast of Reincarnation. The soulslite experience from the creators of many of the mainline Pokémon games, Game Freak has continued to look promising, notably at the XBOX Developer Direct in January.
Outside of these two titles, a game we loved at GSC, Hell is Us comes to the service for Ultimate, Premium and PC players. Be sure to check out our full review.
