While we wait for the dust to settle from yesterday's Xbox bombshell, Microsoft has, as is tradition, announced which games are coming to Game Pass during the first half of July. Since it's summer and there are few new releases, the line-up might not be quite as spectacular as we're used to, but there are still a couple of interesting titles to enjoy.
The following games will soon be added to Game Pass (games marked with * won't be available on Game Pass Premium at launch; games marked with ** are already included with other subscriptions but are now coming to Xbox Premium) in the coming days:
Winds of Arcana: Ruination (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC) - Today
Gears of War: Reloaded (Cloud, Xbox Series S/X, Handheld, and PC) - July 9**
