The latest Game Pass update covers late July and the first days of August with a varied mix of day-one launches, expanded tier availability and recent additions worth catching up on. The calendar spans Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, console, handheld and PC, with different access across Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass. Halo: Campaign Evolved and Beast of Reincarnation are the headline names, but the lineup also includes survival crafting, cooperative horror, action RPGs, city-building, fantasy shooters and bonus content.<\/p>\n
The Planet Crafter is available now on Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass. The game is a relaxed terraforming experience playable solo or in online co-op, sending players to a hostile planet with one objective: make it suitable for human life. That means surviving, collecting resources, building a base, installing machines to heat the planet and slowly creating an oxygen-rich atmosphere.<\/p>\n
Shift at Midnight arrives on July 22 for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. It is a day-one cooperative detective horror game built around three-player shifts, randomly generated situations and customers who may not be what they appear to be. A mistake can turn investigation into emergency defense, forcing the team to board up, set traps and hide before the shift collapses.<\/p>\n
Hell is Us follows on July 23 for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC across Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass. The action adventure takes place in Hadea, a country broken by civil war and cursed by a supernatural calamity. Its focus is on brutal melee combat, a dark mystery and exploration that avoids heavy guidance, asking players to follow their instincts and read the world rather than simply chase markers.<\/p>\n
Halo: Campaign Evolved joins on July 28 for Cloud, console, handheld and PC through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, also as a day-one release. The remake rebuilds Halo: Combat Evolved\u2019s campaign with HD visuals, refined controls, up to four-player online co-op, three new missions and an expanded set of weapons, vehicles and enemies. It is the most recognizable addition in this update for players tied to Xbox\u2019s wider history.<\/p>\n
Mistfall Hunter lands on July 30 for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Ultimate and PC Game Pass. It is a dark fantasy extraction action RPG where classes, skills, talents and gear decide whether a solo player or squad can return with a full haul. On July 31, Corsair Cove comes to PC for Ultimate and PC Game Pass, shifting the pace toward pirate city-building with production chains, a growing haven, fleet management and a crew to govern.<\/p>\n
August 4 brings Heretic + Hexen to Cloud, console, handheld and PC, now with Game Pass Premium access alongside Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The package restores two dark spell-casting shooters with broader platform and language accessibility. The same day also adds Beast of Reincarnation on Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, handheld and PC for Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Game Freak\u2019s action RPG arrives day one with a \u201cone-person, one-dog\u201d setup, mixing real-time action, turn-based RPG depth and Emma and Koo\u2019s journey through post-apocalyptic Japan.<\/p>\n
Recent additions remain part of the wider picture. Buckshot Roulette joined on July 8 for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, handheld and PC through Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass, turning shotgun roulette into a tabletop horror format. Denshattack! arrived on July 15 for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Ultimate and PC Game Pass, built around train tricks, rival gangs and a colorful Japanese dystopia. On July 29, Zenless Zone Zero also receives a PC in-game benefit tied to its second anniversary. Leaving the catalog on July 31 are Back to the Dawn, Celeste, Crusader Kings III, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, My Friendly Neighborhood, Rain World, Sniper Elite Resistance and Whiskerwood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
