Microsoft Unveils Xbox Game Pass July 2024 Wave 2 Lineup, Leaves Plenty of Room for Call of Duty Later in the Month – IGN

Microsoft has announced the Xbox Game Pass July 2024 Wave 2 lineup, which unusually only takes us up to July 19. This leaves plenty of time for a subsequent announcement of the long-awaited addition of games from Activision’s back catalog, including Call of Duty titles.

It’s the first Game Pass lineup announced after Microsoft’s controversial price hike and tier change for its subscription service. Analysts recently told IGN the Game Pass price hike was “inevitable,” and warned more increases, more tiers, and even ads may be on the way.

As for what’s confirmed as coming to Game Pass in July, out today, July 16 is Magical Delicacy (Cloud, Console, and PC), available day-one with Game Pass. This wholesome pixel art platformer lets players cook magical delicacies from a vast collection of ingredients in your own shop.

Also out today day-one on Game Pass is Flock (Cloud, Console, and PC), a multiplayer co-op game about the joy of flight and collecting adorable flying creatures with your friends.

On July 18, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) hits Game Pass as a day-one title. It’s an action RPG from A44 Games, the developers of Ashen. Also on July 18 is yet another day-one Game Pass launch: Dungeons of Hinterberg.

Microsoft’s Wave 2 announcement is rounded out by Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (Cloud, Console, and PC), which launches day-one on Game Pass on July 19. This Japanese-inspired, single-player Kagura action strategy game is a new intellectual property from Capcom. IGN’s Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess review returned an 8/10. We said: “Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a fascinatingly fun action-strategy hybrid with unique gameplay and impressive art design.”
