Key notes

What would this world be like without video games? Probably a more productive place, although this lack of blowing off some steam in such a fun way could be disastrous.

But, before we go imagining a gaming-related apocalypse, let’s focus on the fact that we can game whenever we want, for how long we want.

We can’t say gaming without mentioning Microsoft’s Xbox consoles, and we can’t talk about these consoles without bringing the Xbox Game Pass subscription into the spotlight.

If you are a monthly subscriber to the above-mentioned service, then you are surely wondering what games are coming to Game Pass for July.

And, as always, we’re here to provide a quick, documented, trustworthy answer anytime you have a tech-related question or query.

Let’s kick off this list withAs Dusk Falls, which is an original interactive drama from Interior/Night that explores the entangled lives of two families across thirty years.

The second game being added isAshes of the Singularity, a real-time strategy video game developed by Oxide Games and Stardock Entertainment.

Third on the list is the popularWatch Dogs 2, in which you can play as a brilliant young hacker living in the birthplace of the tech revolution, the San Francisco Bay Area.

If you feel you need more speed and adrenaline, Moto GP 22 is also coming, so you can join more than 120 riders, over 20 official circuits, and all the excitement of the official championship.

Torment: Tides of Numenerais the fifth title on this release list, a journey that lets you discover the Ninth World built on the bones of extinct, hyper-advanced civilizations and leave your own mark on it.

We conclude this second wave of July Game Pass additions withInside, a title that has received critical acclaim for its moody art style, ambient soundtrack, and unsettling atmosphere.

To summarize and specify what support these games will get upon being added, and the exact release date, here’s a simplified list:
