Xbox Game Pass July 2026 additions and removals

More coming, more going.

The first few Xbox Game Pass July 2026 additions have been detailed by Microsoft and its partners, and we’ve got all the games you can expect to come and go right here.

And just so you know what’s up, here’s a post about how Xbox Game Pass has changed of late.

Last month: June 2026  <  This month: July 2026  >  Next month: August 2026

Game Pass is a multi-tiered system; Xbox Game Pass Essentials offers the least, Xbox Game Pass Premium has more, but less than the behemoth that is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Those subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate have access to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass alongside access to the EA Play Vault and Ubisoft+ Classics as well. Finally, all tiers have access Xbox Cloud Streaming on supported devices.

Below, you’ll find the titles you can soon expect (or in some cases, lose) on Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Streaming.

We’ll be adding to the lists below as more games are revealed.
