The second half of Xbox Game Pass for July brings mostly indie gamesWhile the first half of July saw Xbox Game Pass add some bigger titles like Grand Theft Auto V and Exoprimal (https://www.destructoid.com/exoprimal-day-one-first-impressions-ps5-capcom/), the second half update looks to be mostly indie games.
Today specifically will see three new games added including Techtonica as a day one release. The wholesome photography game TOEM (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/toem-wholesome-photography-game-review/) is also available starting today, which our own Editor-at-Large CJ Andriessen considers a well-crafted jaunt through a charming world.
At the end of the month, the narrative cooking game Venba (https://www.destructoid.com/venba-preview-cooking-puzzle-story-family/) will also be added to Game Pass as a day one release. On August 1, the challenging platformer Celeste (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-celeste/) will appear, which Destructoid scored a 10 back when it was released in 2018.
Additionally, Game Pass owners can grab some DLC this month. With Naraka: Bladepoint (https://www.destructoid.com/naraka-bladepoint-xbox-series-x-s-battle-royale-june-23/) going free-to-play, all Game Pass members get a free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition.
I'm personally excited to check out the city-building simulation game The Wandering Village (https://www.destructoid.com/the-wandering-village-and-its-next-update-trundle-to-xbox-on-july-20/). I missed out on it when it launched, but something about building a settlement on the back of a roaming colossal creature just sounds like a good time.
Here?s the full list of games added to Xbox Game Pass in the second half of July.
