Microsoft has shared a preview of upcoming games that will appear or are nearing release on the Game Pass service. The lineup centers on the Yakuza series, including Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2, which have already joined the Game Pass catalog for PC and Xbox users.
In addition to the flagship Yakuza titles, several other games are slated to join or have recently joined the library. Last Call BBS for PC is available now, offering a retro-styled adventure that has been embraced by players seeking a narrative-driven experience on the platform. DJMax Respect 5 for PC and Xbox is expected to launch on July 7, bringing a rhythm-based challenge to both ecosystems. Matchpoint: Tennis Championships, also for PC and Xbox, is set to release on July 7, promising realistic physics and competitive online play. Road 96, a road-trip narrative with branching choices, arrives on PC and Xbox on July 7 as well. Escape Academy, a puzzle-focused title, will be playable on PC and Xbox starting July 14, followed closely by My Friend Peppa Pig, a kid-friendly adventure on those platforms. Overwhelm, a PC-exclusive title offering a fast-paced action experience, is scheduled for July 14. PAW Patrol The Movie: Adventure City Calls, designed for younger players, lands on PC and Xbox July 14. PowerWash Simulator, a favorite for relaxing, stress-free play, rounds out the mid-July slate for both PC and Xbox.
The lineup underscores Microsoft’s ongoing strategy to diversify the Game Pass catalog with a mix of indie adventures, family-friendly titles, and high-profile franchises. Fans can expect a steady stream of new drops and timely updates that keep the service attractive to members across North America, including Canada and the United States. The company has indicated that these introductions will be followed by more additions throughout the summer, with players able to explore a broad spectrum of genres without additional purchases beyond the Game Pass subscription.
The service is slated to depart on July 15, removing certain items such as nuclear weapons, bait, Children of Morta, Cris Tales, and Deadly League Blaze from the library. This is part of the ongoing rotation that keeps Game Pass fresh and allows room for new experiences. In another development, Microsoft announced that starting in October, the Xbox Live Gold collections will no longer include Xbox 360 games, signaling a shift toward newer generations and a streamlined subscription for members.
Beyond game updates, Microsoft executives shared a glimpse into the anime project inspired by the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, showing how each episode of the cartoon will begin with its opening sequence. This cross-media collaboration illustrates Microsoft’s broader strategy to expand its entertainment ecosystem beyond gaming. Meanwhile, a set of internal and external considerations has affected how news is shared, including updates from a Russian language outlet that was unexpectedly removed from Xbox Wire. The company has subsequently confirmed personnel changes at its Russian office, reflecting the evolving global posture of the organization.
In related notes, a technical workaround has surfaced for Windows 11 installation that does not require a Microsoft account, a detail that resonates with users who prefer more control over their setup processes. As these items unfold, observers continue to track how Microsoft balances game service dynamics, platform evolution, and regional market responses across North America.
