With August 2025’s Xbox Game Pass slate on the verge of kick-off, now’s our final moment to glance back at July for the subscription’s catalogue—a stretch that also delivered two brand-new first-party Xbox drops inside the same period!
The twin headliners were Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 and Grounded 2, each earning warm reactions on arrival, while other stand-outs from the roster featured Robocop: Rogue City, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, My Friendly Neighborhood, Descenders Next, Back to the Dawn, Abiotic Factor, plus plenty more beyond.

The cycle of comebacks was strong too, as Rise of the Tomb Raider, Little Nightmares 2, The Ascent and High On Life each re-entered the fray over those weeks—every one a solid bet for anyone browsing the catalogue.
