Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a CNET Editors’ Choice, offers hundreds of games you can play on Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, and PC $17 per month. Your subscription gives you access to a vast library of games, with new games added monthly (like the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6), plus other benefits like online multiplayer and non-Game Pass Game deals.
Microsoft brought My Time at Sandrock and other games to Game Pass Ultimate in June, and the company will add the games to the service in July.
Journey to the Savage Planet
usable: July 3
More than three years after Microsoft removed it from Game Pass Ultimate, the game is back on the service. In this action game, you play as a member of Kindred Aerospace, the fourth-best interstellar exploration company – and that’s a ringing endorsement. The company takes you to an unknown planet filled with danger, mystery, and some foul-smelling creatures. You must fight, scavenge and survive on this planet to determine if it is suitable for human habitation.
Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl 2
usable: July 3
I can’t be the only one wondering who would win in a fight, Spongebob or Invader Jim? If you’re like me, or you just love cartoon fighting games, this is the game for you. You can compete as your favorite Nickelodeon characters like Aang, Jimmy Neutron, Garfield, and more. After defeating friends and family in this family-friendly fighting game, you can also experience the roguelike campaign.
Cricket 24
usable: July 9
India won the Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup on Saturday, which is fitting because for the first time in this sports series, you can play as any of India’s professional T20 teams. You can compete against other major cricketing nations such as Australia and England in over 50 exquisite official stadiums around the world.
gold statue incident
usable: July 9
Put on your detective hat, because there’s been a murder – more like 12 murders, actually. You play as an 18th century detective investigating these murders spanning fifty years. In this mystery game, you must investigate the crime scene, deduce the motives behind the murders, and uncover the true identity of the killer.
neon white
usable: July 11
This first-person shooter puzzle platformer is a speedrunner’s dream. You play as an assassin handpicked by Hell, competing with other demon slayers for a chance to enter Heaven. But only the fastest and most efficient killer will win. However, your competitors seem vaguely familiar, like you’ve known them in a past life. Do you know them, or are they trying to make you lose?
goodbye
usable: July 11
Get ready to explore tropical islands in this action-adventure game. Navigate, climb and glide through the environment in a beautiful entity-driven sandbox experience. Oh, and did I mention you can control any animal or object you come across? That means if you want to swim like a turtle, roll like a tire, or float like a beach ball, you can.
Magically delicious
usable: July 16
Cook magical meals, explore new towns and serve delicious meals to the locals in this wholesome pixel art platformer. You play as Flora, who wants to be a real witch and opens a shop in a port town filled with whimsical characters and some mischievous opposition members. But don’t let them stop you from cooking, shopping and making friends with the locals.
group
usable: July 16
This light-hearted multiplayer game is about the joy of flying and catching precious flying creatures with friends. You start with a small flock of hover sheep – are they birds, fish or snakes? who knows? — but as you explore and encounter new and exotic creatures, you can attract them to join your flock.
July Leaving Game Pass
While Microsoft added these eight games to the service in July, it also removed five more games on July 15. Or any side quest.
