While new games are added every week, three titles will be removed from Xbox Game Pass at the end of July. If you haven’t tried them yet, there is still time to jump in – and you might even benefit from Microsoft’s member discount.

Between July 15 and 18, Microsoft added four new games to Game Pass, including a quirky first-person shooter, a narrative-driven shooter, a horror title and an RPG. More are on the way, with three additional games set to arrive between July 22 and 24. As with every month, some titles will be leaving the service. You have until July 31 to check them out – and if any catch your interest, Game Pass subscribers can purchase them at a 30% discount.
Gigantic
Gigantic is a vibrant hero shooter with a comic book style, where two teams compete to control towering mystical creatures. You take on the role of eccentric champions – ranging from mechanical snipers to magical close-combat fighters – and work with your team to defeat the opposing Guardian.
In terms of gameplay, Gigantic combines elements of third-person shooters, MOBAs and arena brawlers. You team up to gather energy, capture strategic points and launch coordinated attacks on the enemy Guardian.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a spiritual action-strategy game by Capcom that transports players to a demon-infested mountain realm. As the swordsman Soh, you guide a mystical priestess on her ritual journey to cleanse the land. By day, you rescue villagers; by night, you defend the shrine from grotesque Yokai.
From a gameplay perspective, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess combines real-time action with strategic planning. You fight enemies with your sword while assigning rescued villagers to various roles, such as archers or guards. Each night brings waves of foes that test your coordination and tactics. It’s a unique experience, especially for fans of genre-blending games and Japanese culture.
Turnip Boy Robs a Bank
Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is the wild sequel to the delightfully chaotic Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. This time, the mischievous veggie trades his tax-dodging ways for a ski mask, teaming up with a gang of criminal plants to pull off a heist on the world’s biggest bank. The story is every bit as absurd as the title suggests, packed with ridiculous dialogue, shady characters and plenty of veggie-themed humor.
Gameplay-wise, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank blends top-down action with roguelite mechanics and bullet hell chaos. You charge through randomly generated bank floors at high speed, grab loot, collect weapons and upgrade your gear after each run. Every heist feels fresh, featuring new enemies, gadgets and bosses.

As a child in the 90s, my Gameboy was my steady companion. After school, the PlayStation was fired up. When I finally got my first PC, I was completely hooked. My passion for gaming has never waned since. For me, writing for Notebookcheck means reporting on topics that are really close to my heart – in addition to gaming, I also like to write about e-mobility, photovoltaics and innovative gadgets. When I’m not sitting at my computer, I’m probably on water rescue duty on the Baltic coast or trying to counteract the downsides of my geek life – namely sitting for long periods – at the local swimming pool.
