Xbox Game Pass Subscribers, Multiple Day-One Games Arrive On July 18 (2024)

Multiple day-one games are coming to Xbox Game Pass this July. Currently, the subscription is considered one of the better deals in gaming, due to its regularly changing roster that covers a wide variety of genres to appeal to most types of gamers. These titles can include beloved classics and day-one releases, ensuring that there's always something fresh and new for players to enjoy.

As confirmed by Pure Xbox, July 18 will see both Dungeons Of Hinterberg and Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn joining the subscription upon their launch dates. Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is a title Xbox Game Pass subscribers have been waiting for quite some time to play, as it was originally due to launch in early 2023 but was delayed so its developers, A44 Games, could ensure it was "the absolute best experience it can be" at launch. Considering how many games have been released prematurely over the years and the negative impact it has had on their reputation, delaying a title to ensure that it's as good as it possibly can be is often the right call.

What Is Dungeons Of Hinterberg?

Dungeons Of Hinterberg Is A Vibrant ARPG With Puzzle Solving And Social Sim Elements

Dungeons of Hinterberg is an Action-RPG that is - as its title would suggest - set around the village of Hinterberg, a new tourist hotspot in the idyllic Austrian Alps. After the sudden appearance of magic around the village, adventurers travel from around the world armed with a sword and a tourist guide to uncover the magic hidden within its dungeons, all while solving puzzles and slaying monsters. The game features a stunning, vibrant art style and is also blended with social sim elements to further make Hinterberg feel more alive, as players can forge friendships with the locals and other adventurers to learn new tricks.

What Is Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn?

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Is An ARPG In Which Players Must Fend Off An Army Of The Undead

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an Action-RPG open-world adventure centered slaying the undead after the Door to the Afterlife is opened, allowing the old God’s army of the undead to escape and dominate the world. Players assume the role of a member of the Coalition Army, the living's last line of defence, as they use a mix of guns, swords and magic in an attempt to reclaim their world.

Microsoft has yet to announce its first full wave of titles coming to Game Pass in July - waves are usually announced toward the end of the month, and then again in the middle of the month - but so far the month seems to be off to a solid start. Both Dungeons Of Hinterberg and Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn offer different takes on the Action-RPG genre and certainly look to be great additions to the Xbox Game Pass roster.
