It includes additional sandbox and difficulty settings, including Apocalyptic difficulty, Hardcore mode, and Iron mode. There will also be exercise equipment to “better” one’s body, a new bench, weapon improvements, a new battery charging crate, skill perks, and more items to farm. Interestingly, some new crossover cosmetics are coming with an icon hinting at Balatro.

A new home world, Temple of Stone, will also be available at DLC, with another dropping as a gift in Winter. The latter arrives alongside a mysterious Portal World, a new entity, and improvements to food. Spring 2026 marks another free update, but there are no details. Summer 2026 delivers DLC with a new sector, something else about Portal Worlds, new enemies, a new home world, and much more.

Even more is coming beyond that, though the developer isn’t ready to reveal anything, so stay tuned. Abiotic Factor is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC alongside Game Pass and PlayStation Plus.

RoboCop: Rogue City is next up on July 17th for the same, just in time for the Unfinished Business DLC. It’s joined by Saturday morning cartoon horror title My Friendly Neighborhood (available on Ultimate and PC Game Pass). July 18th marks the arrival of Back to the Dawn, a role-playing game focused on escaping from prison.

On July 22nd, Deep Field Games’ Abiotic Factor joins the fray for Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. It will be exiting early access on the same day (and also available for PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium subscribers).

Nidhogg developer Messhof Games delivers something notably less bizarre with Wheel World on July 23rd, followed by Leenzee’s Wuchang: Fallen Feathers on July 24th. Capping off the month is Grounded 2, launching on July 29th into Game Preview, with Farming Simulator 25 starting August with a bang.

Check out the titles that will be leaving Game Pass on July 31st:

• Gigantic (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Turnip Boy Robs a Bank (Cloud, Console, and PC)

Of course, that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to releases. Deep Field Games’ Abiotic Factor, which exits Steam Early Access on July 22nd, will also be available on day one on the service for PS5. There’s also Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Planet Zoo and New World: Aeternum to look forward to on July 15th.

PS4 (and PS5) players can check out Risk of Rain 2, Bluey: The Videogame and Tropico 6. If that wasn’t enough, Premium subscribers receive access to Twisted Metal 3 and 4 on both platforms, each title featuring quick save, rewind and up-rendering alongside custom filters.

Cross-platform play will be available, which is ideal given the six-player co-op support. Abiotic Factor takes place in a secret facility run by GATE, and in typical sci-fi fashion, an experiment goes wrong. Cue an influx of aliens, the military, and more, which the scientists (aka, you) must survive, using whatever resources are available.

Abiotic Factor entered early access in May 2024, and it’s already rated “Overwhelmingly Positive” on Steam, with 96 percent of its currently 23,381 user reviews giving it the thumbs-up. There will be additional support post-launch with update 1.1 out later this year, so stay tuned for updates.
