July is a jam-packed month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, kickstarting with a stylish Tony Hawk-style skater — with the half-pipes swapped out for high-speed transit lines — and bookended by a Halo: Combat Evolved remake, returning us to Master Chief after five long years.
Here is a quick look at all the titles making their way to the service next month:
Palworld is finally launching out of early access (though not out of a Pokéball after the Nintendo lawsuit) next month, with a new region, "many many many new Pals," and a more fleshed out narrative.
This unabashed Pokémon-with-guns survival sandbox is already available on Game Pass, so you can jump in right now, but it's probably worth waiting a few weeks until the full 1.0 edition goes live.
Fans of Hades will want to keep an eye out for Ascend to Zero, a time-bending roguelike where you have only 30 seconds to rewrite fate and save the world. That might not sound like much time to get things done, but the unique hook is that you can freeze time as you fight your way to the top, while striking down enemies reclaims precious seconds....
