It's been a busy first half of the year for Microsoft, hasn't it? Truth be told, we can't remember a more stacked first half of a year for Xbox Game Studios titles in ages, with massive launches like Avowed, Oblivion Remastered, DOOM: The Dark Ages and more landing before the midway point of 2025. However, we're here today to remind you that Xbox's hot streak continues in the second half of the year, starting in July - with two huge first-party releases planned for this month alone.
Of course, those releases are Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 from the Activision team, and Grounded 2 from the ever-prolific studio over at Obsidian. The former lands in just under two weeks here on July 11th, while Grounded 2's early access launch bookends what looks like yet another busy month for Xbox Game Studios and indeed Xbox Game Pass. July is usually one of the quieter months on the calendar but Xbox doesn't seem fussed about that these days!
