You’ll have some great options for summer gaming if you have an Xbox Game Pass membership. Microsoft has exposed that Capcom’s dinosaur shooter Exoprimal will be offered to Game Pass members on Xbox, PC and the cloud when the title introduces July 14th. If you were reluctant to buy the hybrid PvE/PvP game sight unseen (or weren’t sure about the beta), you will not necessarily need to.
Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V is also making its third appearance on Game Pass, albeit only for Xbox and streaming– sorry, no PC downloads this time. There’s very little more to include about the decade-old classic at this point, but it’s likely worth having a look at if you in some way haven’t played GTA V prior to or simply miss out on the experiences of Michael, Franklin and Trevor.
Other additions include experience video game leader Ron Gilbert’s The Cave (July 18th for cloud and Xbox), Insurgency: Sandstorm (July 11th for PC), McPixel 3 (July 6th for all platforms), Common’hood (July 11th for all platforms) and the preview for Techtonica (July 18th, all platforms). You may want to play Spelunky 2 soon, though, as the side-scrolling cavern explorer is leaving Game Pass on July 15th.
These arrivals aren’t always as sweet as Sony’s free PlayStation Plus video games for July, which consist of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Alan Wake Remastered. Sony, meanwhile, is choosing well-known games that shine a spotlight on Microsoft’s attempt to purchase Activision Blizzard.
