The latest additions to XBOX Game Pass have been revealed, and July 2026 Wave 1 features some titles you might like.
Players were informed yesterday about significant changes to Xbox. One of the primary reasons for these changes is Game Pass’s slow growth. However, these adjustments have not impacted the selection of games that players receive each month. A new batch has just been announced, adding 10 new games to the library.
XBOX Game Pass July Wave 1 Features 10 Games
As announced in the blog post, XBOX Game Pass for July Wave 1 features 10 new games; however, only two of those will really stand out to players: Gears of War: Reloaded, now joining Game Pass Premium, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2. Palworld 1.0 has also been listed in the game updates section for the month, with a July 10 release on cloud, console, and PC. Moreover, there’s one Day One title available for download this month: Ascend to Zero.

Tamashika is coming to Game Pass? Haha random and cool, stoked that developer got a Game Pass bag!
But all n all, this is a really weak Game Pass drop… Gears of War Reloaded counts? Wasn’t that in Game Pass since it launched last Summer?
I kinda remember when they raised the price to $30 that they said we would get 175 day one games or something crazy like that… I don’t really feel like that is working out as planned
