Halo: Campaign Evolved and Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation Lead Xbox Game Pass July 2026 Wave 2 Lineup

The rest of July and early part of August will see some big hitters join Xbox Game Pass, chief among them Halo: Campaign Evolved. As a first-party Microsoft game, Halo: Campaign Evolved is a day one Game Pass launch (Call of Duty is the exception). You’ll find it via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on July 28. Also day one on Game Pass is Beast of Reincarnation, a brand new game from Pokémon developer Game Freak. It launches on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on August 4. Other day one launches include online co-op detective horror game Shift at Midnight (July 22), and dark fantasy extraction ARPG Mistfall Hunter (July 30). The full list of games, courtesy of Xbox Wire, is below. As usual, a number of games leave Game Pass this month. You can buy them at a discount while they’re still in the subscription service.
