Games with Gold July 2021 reveal coming soon, will it include Xbox Series X games?

Time is running out for Microsoft to announce its full Games with Gold lineup for July 2021.

The tech giant has until the end of the month to share the news, which happened four weeks ago today.

The last few months have seen the information drop on the 26th of the month, which would mean that fans will find out in the next few days.

And there are hopes that Games with Gold will pick up the pace next month with a new Xbox Series X addition to the lineup.

For those that don’t track the program each month, Games with Gold is a bonus that’s part of Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription services.

It provides members with a series of free games every month that can be downloaded for a limited time, worth up to $700 per year.

All titles are playable on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and all Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles can also be played on Xbox 360 consoles.

Fans have been hoping for a few more Xbox Series X titles to be included in Games with Gold, with Gears 5 being one of the only ones selected in 2021.

But as mentioned above, Microsoft makes it a priority for all games to be played on Xbox One and Xbox Series X, meaning that only backwards compatible games are expected to be included.

This limits what can be added to the lineup each month to those games that included backwards compatibility with Xbox One.

But with so many games now offering next-gen upgrades, there’s a growing chance we will see the next free Xbox Series X game appear on the list very soon.

When Microsoft does announce its new lineup of free games, fans can expect them to include at least four titles.

New Games with Gold titles become available on the first and the sixteenth day of every month and include two Xbox One and two Xbox 360 games.

All of these are available to play on Xbox Series X thanks to backwards compatibility but there have been few that have included next-gen upgrades.

The current lineup that can be downloaded today can be found below, with all of those listed available to claim until at least June 30:
