Xbox Game Pass Adds 5 New Games Today, Including 2 Day One Releases

gamerant.com:

Microsoft adds new games to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service all the time, usually spreading them out throughout the month. While it's true that Microsoft tends to spread out new Xbox Game Pass releases, there are also days when a bunch of new games are added all at once. So is the case with July 14, as Microsoft has just added a whopping five games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to check out, including notable day one releases.

From July 14, Xbox Game Pass subscribers across the cloud, consoles, and PC can check out Escape Academy, My Friend Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol The Movie: Adventure City Calls, and PowerWash Simulator, while PC Game Pass subscribers have exclusive access to Overwhelm. Out of these games, the two standouts are Escape Academy and PowerWash Simulator, as they are both day one releases.

Escape Academy is a co-op game where players can work together to solve puzzles and complete escape rooms. PowerWash Simulator, meanwhile, is exactly as its name implies. It's a simulation game where players clean objects with a power washer. These strange simulation games are a dime a dozen, but PowerWash Simulator is one of the better-received ones currently on the market, so Game Pass subscribers should consider giving it a look.

My Friend Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol The Movie: Adventure City Calls are both clearly targeting a younger demographic, though there is something interesting about My Friend Peppa Pig that Game Pass subscribers should be aware of. On review aggregate site Metacritic, My Friend Peppa Pig has a higher user score than Battlefield 2042, Call of Duty: Vanguard, and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition
