Microsoft has confirmed the Xbox Game Pass July 2024 Wave 1 lineup, revealing what subscribers can expect for the first half of this month.
Kicking things off on July 3 is Typhoon Studios’ 2020 action adventure Journey to the Savage Planet (Cloud, Console, and PC), which makes a return to the Game Pass library. IGN’s Journey to the Savage Planet review returned a 6/10. We said: “This comedy exploration experience blasts off with a lot of fresh ideas, but doesn't quite stick the landing.”
Also on July 3, Fair Play Labs’ Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC) hits Game Pass. This Nickelodeon-based platform fighter got a 9/10 from IGN’s review. We said: “Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 knocks nearly every single one of the first game’s problems into the blast zone while also introducing the exciting new Slime mechanic, a more interesting roster, and better visuals throughout.”
Then, on July 9, Big Ant Studios’ Cricket 24 (Cloud, Console, and PC) bowls onto Game Pass. This one got a 5/10 from IGN’s review. We said: “Cricket 24 is a disappointingly modest and often slipshod update that seemingly lacks the confidence or creativity to advance further down the wicket.”
Also on July 9 is Color Gray Games’ 2022 point-and-click detective adventure game The Case of the Golden Idol (Cloud, Console, and PC). Moving on, Angel Matrix’s first-person action game Neon White (Cloud, Console, and PC) hits Game Pass on July 11. IGN’s Neon White review returned an 8/10. We said: “Part visual novel, part lightning-fast FPS platformer, Neon White's angst-ridden assassins are unbearable but its airtight level design and fantastic sense of momentum ensure its gameplay is something to celebrate.”
Also on July 11, Awaceb’s action adventure game Tchia (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) launches on Game Pass. The Xbox version includes the physics-driven sandbox’s latest update, which includes eight new soul melodies, new outfits, and additional perks for wearing matching cosmetic items.
Magical Delicacy (Cloud, Console, and PC) launches as a day-one Game Pass title on July 16. This wholesome pixel art platformer lets players cook magical delicacies from a vast collection of ingredients in your own shop.
Rounding out July 2024 Wave 1 is the day-one Game Pass launch of Flock (Cloud, Console, and PC) on July 16. Flock is a multiplayer co-op game about the joy of flight and collecting adorable flying creatures with your friends.
