Xbox announced the next wave of Xbox Game Pass titles were coming to the service in July, with GTA 5 joining it again and a notable new release on day one also on the service.
This isn’t the first time GTA 5 has been on the service, but the last time it was around was in 2021, when it was only around for three months. As mentioned on Xbox Wire blog post, GTA 5 is available on Game Pass today, July 5th, so if you haven’t played it yourself yet, you can now do so – it’s also available to stream via the cloud. Besides GTA 5, as mentioned in the previous Game Pass announcement, the action-RPG Sword and Fairy: Together Forever is also available today. You can play the game inspired by Chinese mythology on cloud, console and PC.
Next up on July 6 is McPixel 3, a point-and-click adventure game that “sees the titular hero wanting to avoid one disaster after another at every turn using unconventional yet entertaining methods of mayhem.” You can play this game via cloud, console, and PC.
On July 11, you’ll be able to play Common’hood on the cloud, console, or PC, a “squatter simulation game” with a heavy community focus. You’ll need to take care of your fellow settlers while you set up the machines to do the hard work and the farm to provide food for everyone. On the same day comes Insurgency: Sandstorm to PC players, a team-based tactical FPS with a heavy focus on close quarters combat.
Exoprimal, Capcom’s next big dinosaur game, will join Game Pass on July 14 as a Day 1 title. With a mixture of PvE and PvP, you will have to face ridiculous amounts of dinosaurs while wearing mech suits. Can’t you love him?
A few days later on July 18, Techtonica will arrive, on cloud, console and PC, again as a Day 1 title. Set beneath the surface of an alien planet, Techtonica is a first-person factory automation game in a Satisfactory context that you can play alone or in co-op. Finally, on the same day, The Cave will also come to Game Pass on console and the cloud. From the creator of Monkey Island and Double Fine, The Cave will see you gather your “team of three of seven unlikely adventurers, each with their own unique personalities” and descend into the depths.
It should be noted that today (July 5) is the last day you can get Game Pass at its current price, as of July 6, the price of Game Pass Ultimate will increase from $15 to $17, while standard subscriptions will increase from $10 to $11. In addition, many Game Pass games will leave the service later this month.
