The Xbox Game Pass July 2024 Wave 1 list has been confirmed by Microsoft, indicating what members can anticipate during the first two weeks of this month.
The 2020 action adventure Journey to the Savage Planet (Cloud, Console, and PC) from Typhoon Studios, which is making a comeback to the Game Pass library, will get things started on July 3. The Journey to the Savage Planet review from Gamexta received a 6 out of 10. Our assessment was, “This comic exploration experience has a lot of original concepts, but it does not quite land.”
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC) from Fair Play Labs launches on Game Pass on July 3 as well. Gamexta gave this Nickelodeon-based platform fighter a score of 9/10. “Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 introduces the intriguing new Slime mechanism, a more fascinating lineup, and better visuals throughout, knocking practically every single one of the first game’s faults into the blast zone,” we remarked.
Then, Big Ant Studios‘ Cricket 24 (PC, Console, and Cloud) launches on Game Pass on July 9. Gamexta gave this one a rating of five out of ten. We declared: “Cricket 24 is a surprisingly underwhelming and frequently clumsy upgrade that seems to lack the confidence or inventiveness to go further down the wicket.”
The Case of the Golden Idol, a 2022 point-and-click detective adventure game from Color Gray Games, will also launch on July 9 (PC, Console, and Cloud). Next up, on July 11th, Angel Matrix’s first-person action game Neon White (available on PC, Console, and Cloud) will be added to Game Pass. Neon White received an 8 out of 10 from Gamexta. “Neon White’s angst-ridden assassins are awful, but its watertight level design and excellent feeling of momentum guarantee its gameplay is something to appreciate,” we stated. “Part visual novel, part lightning-fast FPS platformer.”
The action-adventure game Tchia (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) from Awaceb will also be available on Game Pass on July 11. The most recent update for the physics-driven sandbox is now on the Xbox version, and it comes with eight new soul tunes, new clothes, and extra benefits for donning matching cosmetics.
On July 16, Magical Delicacy (Cloud, Console, and PC) will be available as a day-one Game Pass title. In this pleasant pixel art platformer, players can create magical dishes in their shop using an extensive assortment of materials.
The July 16 day-one Game Pass launch of Flock (Cloud, Console, and PC) completes July 2024 Wave 1. In the multiplayer cooperative game Flock, you and your pals can enjoy the thrill of flight and gather lovely flying animals.
