Xbox Game Pass July 2026: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, Palworld 1.0, and a packed lineup incoming

Xbox Game Pass is getting a serious injection of new titles through mid-July 2026, headlined by Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, Palworld hitting version 1.0, and The Planet Crafter. The wave kicked off July 6 with Winds of Arcana: Ruination already live, and new games keep dropping almost every day through the rest of the month.

Gears of War: Reloaded lands July 9 on Game Pass Premium, Ultimate, and PC Game Pass — it's the Unreal Engine-powered remaster of the original Gears of War, bundling all post-launch content including a bonus campaign act, extra multiplayer maps, and cosmetics. Also on July 9, arcade corridor shooter Tamashika joins the same tiers. July 13 brings Ascend to Zero, a time-bending action roguelike, as a day-one Game Pass title on Ultimate and PC Game Pass. PBA Pro Bowling 2026 arrives July 14 across Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass, promising advanced physics and licensed PBA pros. July 15 sees Quarantine Zone: The Last Check — a checkpoint management survival game — expand to Cloud and Console. Multiplayer open-world rider game Mavrix by Matt Jones and co-op extraction platformer FixForce both drop July 16–17, with Fogpiercer (PC only) also arriving July 17.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 — the well-received 2020 remake from Vicarious Visions that brought the classic skating series back to critical acclaim — is one of the bigger catalog additions here. Palworld reaching 1.0 is also notable: the creature-collecting survival game from Pocketpair became a massive breakout hit in early access in early 2024, pulling in millions of players in its first week, and its full release landing on Game Pass simultaneously is a significant moment for the service. The Planet Crafter, a solo survival crafting game about terraforming an alien planet, has built a dedicated following during its own early access run.

With day-one titles like Ascend to Zero and the continued rollout of remasters and indie picks, Microsoft is keeping Game Pass stocked heading into the second half of 2026. Palworld 1.0 in particular is likely to draw back lapsed players who stepped away during early access.
