The Xbox Game Pass catalog continues to grow, with the latest addition being a game that is releasing on Xbox for the first time. Maquette, a first-person puzzle game developed by Graceful Decay and published by Annapurna, is out now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows Games through Game Pass.

Maquette released in March 2021 for PS4, PS5, and PC, before heading to Switch in May this year. It's now available on Xbox for the first time, and Game Pass members can play it as part of their subscription.

Maquette features the voices of real-life couple Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World and Seth Gabel (Fringe) as the lead characters Kenzie and Michael, respectively. Players need to solve puzzles evocative of MC Escher-esque creations as part of what's described as part of a story of "love, loss, and acceptance."

The game is one of multiple additional titles headed to Game Pass before the end of the month. July 20 sees the launch of Figment 2: Creed Valley and The Wandering Village. Even more games are on the way this month, so be sure to check out the full list of Game Pass titles for the remainder of July. Game Pass is also losing a bunch of games soon, including Marvel's Avengers.
