Xbox Game Pass for July adds GTA V, Exoprimal and more

Who wants to fight back the dinosaurs?

It’s that time again: The list of games being added to Xbox Game Pass for July has been revealed. There are only a few new titles being added to the game pass this time around, but it includes a couple of day one releases. As is tradition with Xbox Game Pass, this list focuses on the first half of the month. The second wave of games for July will probably be revealed in a couple of weeks.

According to the post, the highlight for July is the return of Grand Theft Auto V. Unfortunately only the console version is being added to the pass, but it does include both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions. Grand Theft Auto V is a big open-world game so it’s always nice to have access to a game with so much content.

There are two day-one releases included in this month’s pass. First is Capcom’s online game Exoprimal. The team-based action game blends PvE and PvP as players battle dinosaurs and each other while piloting powerful exosuits. The second day one release is first-person automation game Technotica. Play alone or in co-op as you master automation, gather resources, and research new technologies to build your base. The game reminds me a lot of Factorio and Satisfactory and looks promising.

Here’s the full list of games being added to Xbox Game Pass with the first wave of July.
