Does Microsoft have a surprise in store?

Although it lacks any major titles, July has already been a great month for eclectic smaller games on Game Pass: The past few weeks have seen the release of such gems as The Case of the Golden Idol, Tchia, Neon White and Flock.

The trend continues into the second half of the month with a trio of Day One releases, all arriving this week: soul-like Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Alpine Adventure Dungeons of Hinterberg, and the truly unique Capcom action strategy game, Kunitsu-Gami : The Way of the Goddess.

And… that's all. The strange thing about Microsoft's latest "coming to Game Pass update," which would normally span the entire second half of July, is that it stops there. Just a very easy month? Maybe not; "let's stay in touch, we have another update for you soon," said Xbox Wire. Maybe there's a surprise Game Pass release coming up between now and the end of the month.
