Xbox Lines Up 20-Plus Games for July 6-10 as Palworld 1.0 Hits Game Pass

Q: Will Xbox's biggest first-party release this week actually be included in its Game Pass service?

No. Xbox’s biggest first-party release this week, **DOOM: The Dark Ages – Revelations**, is **not confirmed for Game Pass and is being sold separately**, with available information indicating it will **not** be included as a day-one Game Pass release. The key distinction is that **the base game, DOOM: The Dark Ages, is on Game Pass**, but **Revelations** is a paid campaign expansion. Bethesda and Xbox materials say the add-on launches **July 7** for **$19.99**, or is included with the **Premium Edition**, **Premium Upgrade**, or **Collector’s Bundle**. That language points to it being premium DLC rather than part of the standard Game Pass offering. That also matches the broader release schedule for the week. The titles explicitly confirmed for Game Pass are **Winds of Arcana: Ruination** on **July 6** and **Palworld 1.0** on **July 10**. By contrast, Microsoft’s showcase wording highlighted Game Pass availability for the base DOOM game, but did not say the same for the new expansion. So for subscribers, the practical answer is simple: **Game Pass covers the base DOOM: The Dark Ages, but not this week’s new Revelations expansion unless you buy it or own a premium edition.**
