Here’s the complete list of games coming to Game Pass over the next fortnight:

Not an exhaustive selection but definitely a loveable one. Techtonica is the ‘Satisfactorybut in bioluminescent underground caves’ game that just hit early access today, which I hear had a very cool demo late last year. Monochrome photography puzzler Toem came out a few years ago but is stillworth a goas well.

Musical action-platformerFigment2 launched a few months back, although you don’t need to play the first one to jump in and enjoy the sequel’s sing-songs. Maquette is the perspective puzzler that makes certain items smaller or larger depending on what you do with them. Thoseoooooh-inducing puzzles are nicely wrapped up in a love story, too.

The Wandering Village is the city-builder set atop a lumbering creature’s back, and despite still being in early access, ourreviewsaid it was “pretty much at its destination.” Standalone expansionSerious Sam: Siberian Mayhemtakes the shootouts to Russia and, interestingly, it started off as a mod.

As always, newcomers mean new leavers. So here’s what’s leaving Game Pass on July 31st:

I’m sad to see Two Point Campus’ wacky student management go. That aside, two weeks might be enough time to get through The Ascent, the top-down cyberpunk shooter, and Dreamscaper, the roguelike that’sapparently quite goodtoo. The not-so-good Marvel’s Avengers also made“nearly all”cosmetics free for everyone, since the game’s being removed from sale on September 30th. So you can dress up some heroes and maybe punch some villains if you’re in the mood.
