Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service had an exceptional week, and there are exciting developments ahead before July 2023 concludes.

However, last week's significance for Xbox Game Pass was not solely due to the addition of new releases. It was also marked by Microsoft's significant announcement regarding a new tier for Xbox Game Pass that will replace Xbox Live Gold.

Figment 2: Creed Valley
Maquette
Techtonica
The Cave
The Wandering Village
Last week, Xbox Game Pass subscribers enjoyed the addition of six new games. The exciting update on July 18 introduced three games at once: the early access title Techtonica, the adventure game The Cave from the Xbox 360 era, and the photography game Toem. These three games have received positive feedback and have proven to be valuable additions to the Xbox Game Pass games collection.
The following day, Xbox Game Pass included Maquette, a first-person puzzle game that was initially released as a day one PS Plus game. Through Game Pass, Maquette made its debut on Xbox, effectively making it a day one release for Microsoft's service as well.
Lastly, Xbox Game Pass also introduced The Wandering Village and Figment 2: Creed Valley to conclude its latest game additions for the week. Both games have garnered "very positive" reviews on their respective Steam pages, so Xbox Game Pass subscribers are encouraged to take the opportunity to explore them while they are still accessible on the service.
Upcoming Xbox Game Pass Games for July 2023
Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem - July 25
Venba - July 31
There are two additional games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to explore before July 2023 concludes. On July 25, Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem will join Game Pass. On July 31, the day one release, Venba, will become available. Serious Sam can be played on the cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S consoles, while Venba can be played on consoles and PC, excluding the cloud.
Venba is the more exciting addition out of the two games. Although Serious Sam is part of a well-established first-person shooter franchise, Venba's early impressions have been positive. This narrative-driven cooking game offers a unique concept, setting it apart from the numerous other games accessible through Xbox Game Pass.
