Microsoft has revealed the first wave of Xbox Game Pass additions for July 2024 – and there is a definitive highlight amongst the bunch.

Developed by Angel Matrix and published by Annapurna Interactive, Neon White is a first-person shooter with platforming and puzzle elements. Players take the role of White, a hellbound assassin who is given one final shot at landing a permanent afterlife in heaven – all he needs to do is win a competition against similar individuals. However, all of those rivals somehow seem familiar to White – old acquaintances from a past life, perhaps?

Neon White was released in 2022 and reached a rating of 89/100 on Metacritic, whereas Steam users have rated it 10/10. It’ll be available for Game Pass subscribers on consoles, cloud, and PC starting on July 11, 2024.

Of course, this is not the only addition of the month – for more, see below.
