The Game Pass catalog updates again: many new arrivals (but also many departures) in July 2026

The last few weeks have been rich in news for Microsoft and Xbox, with the launch of a reorganization program that has led to many layoffs and confirmed the desire to change direction in the gaming division's strategy.

The Game Pass remains central, even if things could change regarding exclusives and day one games (especially AAA titles). Meanwhile, July 2026 marks the arrival of several new games.

New Additions to Game Pass

Last week, Game Pass saw the arrival of Winds of Arcana: Ruination and Gears of War: Reloaded. This week's catalog update adds:

Ascend to ZERO - July 13 (Ultimate, PC)
