Xbox Games With Gold For July 2023 Revealed
Darkwood and When the Past was Around are the two titles that make up the Xbox Games with Gold lineup for July 2023. They fit in very different genres, but both will be available for free with a Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription in July on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S--with Darkwood even being optimized for the latter.
A survival horror game, Darkwood has drawn comparisons to Don't Starve and sees players scavenging during the day to fend off unsettling foes at night. GameSpot's Darkwood review praised the game, saying that «rather than relying on jump scares--although they are present, to a minor degree--Darkwood psychologically unhinges you.» The game will be available from July 1-31, according to Xbox Wire.

Don't forget that the Xbox Games with Gold lineup for June is still available. Adios will be downloadable through the end of this month, while The Vale: Shadow of the Crown sticks around until July 15.
