Overview
- Xbox announced on Tuesday, July 21 that The Planet Crafter is available on Game Pass today and that seven more titles will join the service between July 22 and August 4.
- Three confirmed day‑one arrivals are Halo: Campaign Evolved on July 28, Mistfall Hunter on July 30, and Beast of Reincarnation on August 4, each appearing on specified combinations of Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC tiers.
- Heretic + Hexen arrives on August 4 with a new Game Pass Premium listing while also joining Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass to broaden platform access.
- Eight games are scheduled to leave Game Pass on July 31, including Celeste, Crusader Kings 3 and Sniper Elite Resistance, and Microsoft is offering discounts on those departing titles before they exit.
- The dated July 22–August 4 wave reflects Microsoft’s playbook of timed rollouts to drive discovery and developer exposure, with Game Freak’s Beast of Reincarnation highlighted as a visible example of the platform’s day‑one support; a separate outlet also reported an unconfirmed expectation that Tears of Metal could appear on PC Game Pass on July 22.
