Dead Island, F1 2015, Resident Evil 6 and More Enter Xbox Game Pass on July 1
Click to expand...

Hello, fellow gamers. Welcome to the first Xbox Game Pass monthly update! As you're aware, Xbox Game Pass launched on June 1, a new digital gaming subscription service that gives you unlimited access to over 100 Xbox One and Xbox 360 backward compatible games for just $9.99 USD per month. At Xbox Game Pass, we believe more is better, and that there should always be something new to play. Starting on July 1, even more great games are coming to Xbox Game Pass for you to enjoy. And don't forget, if you haven't tried Xbox Game Pass yet, you can play free for 14 days.

Dead Island Definitive Edition
First up, we have Dead Island Definitive Edition, one of the quintessential zombie games. In Dead Island, four survivors awake in a hospital, only to find themselves surrounded by an infestation of zombies. You get it all with Dead Island — a large open world to explore, multiple playable characters, a great story arc with tons of side missions, an extensive crafting system and thousands of zombies to fight. In short, Dead Island is a must-play this month, solo or with your friends. How long can you survive?

Resident Evil 6
Co-headlining July's new releases into Xbox Game Pass is Resident Evil 6. More of a third-person shooter than its survival-horror roots, Resident Evil 6 is an incredibly ambitious effort from Capcom, delivering the ability to go solo or partner up in co-op for four different-but-integrated campaigns spanning seven different key characters. Where other Resident Evil games focused on a more crawling pace, confined spaces, and scarce resources (especially ammunition), Resident Evil 6 delivers the opportunity to create blazes of glory across a series of intense shootouts, vehicle chases, and boss fights.

We also highly recommend checking out the latest installment in the franchise, Resident Evil 7, which returns Resident Evil to its roots in one of the best true survival-horror games to release in recent memory, available today here in the Xbox Store.

F1 2015
If you enjoy racing, you'll be thrilled to hear that F1 2015 is joining Xbox Game Pass in July. F1 2015, one of the best installments in the long-running franchise from Codemasters, offers a gripping simulation of the Formula One racing experience. Finding the right level of finesse is key to finishing in the winner's circle, and in F1 2015 you can hone your driving skills against challenging AI competition before competing with friends.

The Flame in the Flood
We are really excited for the Xbox Game Pass community to check out The Flame in the Flood, one of the best single-player experiences of 2016. Guide Scout and her faithful pooch Aesop downriver to find resources, safety, and hope in this post-apocalyptic tale of survival (spoiler alert: there was a huge flood). Navigate your raft from island to island as your adventure for a brighter tomorrow unfolds.

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
In the world of high-octane action platformers, Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition ranks among the very best. Fluid and fast-paced with wonderfully unique, Mexican-inspired art and level design, Guacamelee delivers tons of fun with a unique flair that you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere else. You play as Juan, a humble farmer, tasked with defeating countless enemies on a quest to rescue El Presidente's kidnapped daughter. Play on your own or join forces with family and friends to defeat each boss, conquer each level, and save the day in this awesome game from Drinkbox Studios.

Bard's Gold
Guacamelee's retro brother from another mother, Bard's Gold, is a super fun 2D platformer with strong RPG elements and a visual style that harkens back to the days of 8-bit gaming yore, which is pretty awesome if you're a retro gaming fan (or a child of the 80s, like many of us!). Diverse dungeon-focused level design is paired with progressively challenging gameplay (and a bunch of achievements) to create a really fun and engaging experience. Each level has its own surprises and secrets, so explore the nuances and clever design elements Bard's Gold has to offer. It will be time well spent!

Monaco: What's Yours is Mine
One of our favorite hidden gems from Xbox 360, Majesco's award-winning Monaco: What's Yours is Mine is a top-down stealth action strategy game with the team-based objective of successfully pulling off heists and robberies. Play through the solo campaign and unlock four additional characters (eight total in the game) so you and your friends can each find the right character and special skill to pull off each heist in multiplayer. Don't get caught!

Payday 2 Most Wanted Bundle Out Now + All Payday 2 Add-ons 25% Off from 7/1 – 7/16)
And it's not just more games you get to enjoy in July. Our friends at 505 Games are celebrating the recent release of Payday 2's Most Wanted DLC bundle by offering Xbox Game Pass members 25% off all Payday 2 add-ons from July 1 – July 16. If you haven't checked out Payday 2 yet, now is a great time to jump in!

Thanks for reading about all of these great titles coming soon to Xbox Game Pass in July. For all of the latest Xbox news, keep it locked to Xbox Wire. Until next month, game on!

Nice additions, especially Dead Island collection and The Flame in the Flood (I usually hate survival games which rely heavily on crafting, but this one is great).

I like that the games are actually getting some words written about them: treating the game pass/games with gold/digital offerings as a prestige piece (though woof how prestigious can RE6 be, don't @ me) is a differentiating factor.

Would be cool if they could get devs or key personnel attached to games to say a few words and they can have that be the piece on the side of the home menu.

Oh damn, Flame in the Flood. Been wanting to try that one out. Some solid additions this month

Guacamelee I already own from GwG but people should def try it if they haven't!

Resident Evil 6 I got cheap in that RE Bundle price error a few months back so nothing for me there

The others I have not tried yet so I'll give them a whirl

I wonder if that's the reason GWG was such a slog in july?

Also, apparently we are going to see deals for Gamepass subscribers for newly released games.

that's solid, I wonder if they are going to keep adding 5-6 games every month?

That's what they said at E3 as well as the first game won't leave until November but they'll be very transparent and clear about when that will be happening and which titles it will be.

I had been eyeing buying dead island collection again to finally beat the game but this saves me some $$. Guccamelee is great. If you like castlevania/metroid type play then it's up your alley.

Re6 is going to make me miss so many sales now. I will withhold buying games in sales expecting then to come to game pass now XD
