Microsoft announced the games coming to Xbox and PC Game Pass in the first half of August 2022, which includes Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Expeditions: Rome, Cooking Simulator, and the upcoming Two Point Campus launching on the service on day one.

This list covers only the first half of August 2022 for Xbox and PC Game Pass. Microsoft usually sends another batch of games planned for release in the second half so look out for that midway through the month.
