Microsoft has officially announced the Wave 2 Xbox Game Pass lineup for July 2026. The seven-title batch is smaller than those released in the pre-summer months, but it still includes several potentially standout additions to the Xbox Game Pass catalog.
Nine new titles were added to Xbox Game Pass from July 6 through 17. The Wave 2 lineup for the ongoing month was officially announced on July 21, the same day The Planet Crafter joined the service.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers can now download a brand-new day one platform game that is undeniably a 10/10 open-world masterpiece.
Of the seven titles listed in Microsoft's latest Xbox Game Pass catalog announcement, five are scheduled to arrive in the final third of July 2026. Three of those are also day-one releases, with that group including Shift at Midnight, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Mistfall Hunter. The rest of the lineup includes the critically acclaimed action-adventure Hell is Us, dark fantasy extraction shooter Mistfall Hunter, and PC-only pirate-themed city builder Corsair Cove.
