Microsoft is rolling out a wave of new titles heading to Xbox Game Pass across consoles, PC, and cloud streaming for late July and early August. Leading the charge are two massive "day one" heavyweights joining the service the exact same day they launched globally: a stunning remake of a classic in Halo: Campaign Evolved, and a brand-new action RPG from Pokémon creators Game Freak called Beast of Reincarnation.
Before diving into games, here's a quick reminder for players looking to get started: Game Pass saw some major price cuts back in April. Game Pass Ultimate is now heavily discounted to $22.99 / £16.99 per month (down from $29.99 / £22.99), and PC Game Pass now costs just $13.99 / £10.99 per month (down from $16.49 / £13.49).
