Microsoft’sGame Passsubscription services adds two new games for July 11:Common’hoodandInsurgency: Sandstorm. The former is available on Cloud, Console, andPC versions of Game Pass, while the latter is only available on PC Game Pass.
These two titles follow a small hiatus of sorts for Game Pass. It hasn’t added a game prior to this since July 6, which is not unusual, but every game this month has a tough act to follow. On July 5,Xbox Game Pass addedGrand Theft Auto 5again, and while its return is likely to be short, there’s no doubt many fans will have flocked to it. It constantly tops charts to this day, despite originally releasing back in 2013. Game Pass has also addedArcade Paradise, Sword and Fairy: Together Forever, andMcPixel 3since the start of July.

Meanwhile,Common’hooddoesn’t have as much in the way of reviews. It does have about 232 mixed reviews on Steam, however, and is described as a community-building economic management game with base building too. Players experience much in the way of traditional survival gameplay, such as building home, digging up resources, growing food, and so forth, and given the popularity of survival-style simulation games onXbox Game Pass, it may find its home and community on Microsoft’s service.
Xbox Game Passsubscribers get a handful of games every month.
