The Xbox Wire post included a "sneak peek" of a few of the available or upcoming Summer Spotlight games "to get you pumped for a fantastic season of gaming," such as Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium Bundle, which is available now, the open beta for MultiVersus, which is also available now, RimWorld Console Edition, which arrives on July 28th, Two Point Campus, which launches into Xbox Game Pass on August 8th, Tribes of Midgard, which lands on August 16th, Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed, which arrives on August 30th, Rumbleverse, Cult of the Lamb, and TinyKin, which will also join Xbox Game Pass. The Microsoft Store will apparently be updated every Tuesday to show new Summer Spotlight games.
