Xbox Game Pass Titles for July Announced

Microsoft announced the first wave of games coming to Game Pass across PC, Xbox consoles and cloud in July in an Xbox Wire post on Tuesday. The headline title for the first half of the month is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, releasing day one on Game Pass on July 11. The skateboarding game brings together remakes of Pro Skater 3 and Pro Skater 4 in a single package, just like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+ 2 did with the first two games.

The remake comes with all the parks and skaters from the original games, plus new ones, along with a visual overhaul that brings 4K resolution, crisper textures, enhanced lighting and animations and more. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 arrives on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass across cloud, Xbox consoles and PC on July 11. The game is also launching on Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, PS4 and PS5.

Two games have already been added to Game Pass in July and are now available to play: Little Nightmares 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Both games will be on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard tiers across cloud, console and PC platforms.

On Wednesday (July 2), two games from the Mana series join Game Pass Standard on Xbox consoles: Legend of Mana and Trials of Mana. The service will add multiplayer party platformer Ultimate Chicken Horse on July 3.

Next week, on July 8, The Ascent returns to Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard. The cyberpunk-themed shooter features a striking, neon-drenched visual style and can be played solo or co-op. On July 9, management sim Minami Lane joins Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

Later in the month on July 15, funny first-person shooter (there’s really no other way to describe it) High on Life comes to Game Pass. If Rock & Morty humour is your flavour, this should be right up your alley, considering the game was conceived by series creator Justin Roiland.

Microsoft also confirmed that its Retro Classics collection, which was introduced last month, now has over one million players. The Xbox parent also confirmed some classic games that were recently added to the new offering; these include Cosmic Commuter, Heart of China, Skiing, Solar Storm and Subterranea.

Game Pass subscribers will also get DLC content for Diablo IV and Palworld this month, in addition to in-game benefits for Mecha Break, Splitgate 2 and Asphalt Legends Unite.

The company also announced the slate of games leaving Game Pass this month on July 15. These include Flock, Mafia Definitive Edition, Magical Delicacy, Tchia, The Callisto Protocol and The Case of the Golden Idol.
