Xbox Game Pass is getting a fresh wave of new games in July 2025, with additions including major AAA adventures, as well as delightful indie tales. “Something for everyone” is usually a cliche, but this month’s games are very diverse, with standouts across the board.
For those looking to re-experience the early 2000s of gaming, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is an excellent option. This is a remake of the third and fourth Tony Hawk skateboarding games, with remastered graphics and new features.
RoboCop: Rogue City is also arriving on the platform, for those keen to experience an action-heavy take on the classic 1980s film. While licensed games get a bad rap generally, this title was very well-received on launch, and it’s well worth checking out this month.
If you’re a subscriber already, you’ll find lots of other new experiences coming to Xbox Game Pass shortly. If you’re not a subscriber, there’s ample temptation here. Here’s all the new games launching on Xbox Game Pass in July 2025.
