Xbox Game Pass July Update

Microsoft Announces July Game Pass Lineup

Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox Game Pass July 2024 Wave 2 lineup, covering releases up to July 19. This leaves room for further announcements, potentially including Activision's Call of Duty titles.

The first lineup since Microsoft’s subscription price hike features several day-one releases. Analysts noted that the price increase was inevitable and cautioned that more changes, including additional tiers and ads, might follow.

Released on July 16, Magical Delicacy (Cloud, Console, and PC) is a charming pixel art platformer where players cook magical dishes in their own shop. Also launching day-one on Game Pass is Flock (Cloud, Console, and PC), a multiplayer co-op game focused on the joy of flight and collecting adorable flying creatures.

On July 18, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) joins the lineup. This action RPG from A44 Games, developers of Ashen, promises thrilling gameplay. Additionally, Dungeons of Hinterberg launches on the same day.

Rounding out the Wave 2 announcement is Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (Cloud, Console, and PC), which debuts on Game Pass on July 19. This Japanese-inspired action-strategy game by Capcom received an 8/10 from IGN, praised for its unique gameplay and impressive art design.

Here’s the full Xbox Game Pass July 2024 Wave 2 lineup:

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – July 18
Dungeons of Hinterberg (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – July 18
