Microsoft has confirmed a string of new additions coming to Xbox Game Pass this July – check out the full list below.
Earlier this month, ten new titles were announced for Xbox Game Pass although Microsoft quickly backtracked, with the planned release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 indefinitely delayed. No explanation was given, though fans are speculating it’s either to do with music licensing rights or an existing deal between Activision and Sony.
Today (July 21), Microsoft has confirmed eight new titles coming to its subscription service as part of July’s second wave, including four Day One releases. Check out the full list below:
The Planet Crafter – out now for Ultimate, Premium and PC subscribers
