Xbox's second batch of Game Pass additions for July includes Grounded 2 and Wheel World
Xbox has confirmed the second batch of Game Pass additions for July . There's no obvious headliner here, but there are a bunch of great additions to the catalog. These include indie hits like Wheel World and blockbusters like Robocop: Rogue City . Let's get into it. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

A game based on a decades-old sci-fi franchise by a relatively unknown developer? It should have been a train wreck. Instead, it's a solid 3D action title that perfectly captures the vibe of the original film. This is a must-play for children of the 1980s. It'll be available on July 17 for subscribers on all tiers.

Grounded 2 looks to be a fantastic take on the "shrunken teens navigating a yard" genre, as first pioneered in the film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids . The first game was great and Obsidian looks to be upping the ante here in nearly every way , with a larger focus on story, a more immersive world and insects to ride around on. This is a day one Game Pass release, which happens on July 29. It'll only be playable for PC and Ultimate subscribers. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

This is an open-world bicycle sim with gorgeous cel-shaded graphics. The title promises "impressive vistas, hidden secrets and races that will test your skills." It'll be available for Ultimate and PC subscribers. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

This is a Souls-like action RPG set in the final days of the Ming Dynasty. The combat looks absolutely brutal. Again, only Ultimate and PC subscribers will have access to the game. Those are just the titles that caught my interest. The shooter High On Life returns to the platform today and the survival horror adventure My Friendly Neighborhood drops on July 17. The prison-based RPG Back to the Dawn will be playable on July 18 and the survival crafting title Abiotic Factor releases on July 22. As always, Game Pass remains one heck of a deal .

Player Mode: Can cycling save the world from collapse?
Discover how innovative new games like Wheel World, Tales of the Shire, and Mycopunk combine adventure with environmental themes, offering players a chance to save the world while enjoying immersive gameplay. In Wheel World, cycling, not recycling, will save the world. The player adopts the persona of Kat as they explore a stunning open world filled with beautiful vistas, hidden secrets, and races that will test their skills. Wheel World is packed with things to do: Take on elite cycling teams and in high-stakes races, scour the world for rare parts to build the ultimate bike, recover stolen 'Legendary' parts to ultimately perform 'The Great Shift' ritual and save the world. No big deal. A big plus: the music. Wheel World features an original soundtrack from Italians Do It Better. Available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S Tales of the Shire Always wanted to live in a cosy Hobbit hole ever since you watched the first LOTR movie? This is your chance to immerse yourself in the serene landscape of the Shire as you discover, decorate, and share in this idyllic corner of Middle-earth with Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings™ Game. Players can create their own Hobbit avatar as they set forth in Bywater and play a role in helping the quaint town flourish. Decorate your own Hobbit Hole, tend to your garden, fish at the ponds, forage wild fruits and herbs, or trade with townsfolks. Available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X/S. There is a planet-wide fungal catastrophe in this game, though The Last Of Us this is not. In Mycopunk, a ragtag squad of robot rejects is hired by a corporation to act as exterminators and uncover the mysteries behind the disastrous mushroom madness that has overtaken the far future landscape of the game. The robot squad's only shot at not being sent to the scrap heap is to complete this task and restore order. They can choose from an arsenal of advanced futuristic weaponry to get rid of the sentient shrooms that can corrupt and weaponize the planet's technology against them and wreak havoc. The first-person shooter game is being released on Windows.
