Xbox Game Pass: July 2023 games revealed

The first wave of Xbox Game Pass titles for July 2023 have been revealed, with two standout headliners amongst the pack. The first is a game that will be familiar to many: Grand Theft Auto 5. After a brief absence, the game has returned to Xbox Game Pass, with players able to jump in now on console, or via the cloud.

The second headliner is a curiosity: Exoprimal. This Capcom-developed dinosaur skirmish game is all about teaming up with your pals and fighting giant hordes of dinosaurs who mysteriously appear in the real world, via rifts in space and time. It’s available on the first day of its release on Xbox Game Pass for anyone curious enough to learn more about this wild, high-concept PvP and PvE squad fighter.
