Xbox's "Next Week on Xbox" rundown for July 20-24 lists more than 20 new games, headlined by early access for Halo: Campaign Evolved on the 23rd.

Not Play Anywhere, despite hitting both platforms

A handful of this week's releases land on Xbox and PC but are listed as Series X|S optimized only, without the Play Anywhere tag: Milo's Escape, Pit Panic, Cyber Tank Pink, Neon Depth, Pure Pool Pro, Bear Mage Honey Sage, Cave Looters, and Terminal Shift. Vikings Pinball and Space Is Crazy carry no optimization or Play Anywhere tag at all in the listing. Worth checking the storefront page before assuming a dual platform release means cross buy.

Release dates subject to change per Xbox Wire. Full weekly list: Next Week on Xbox: New Games for July 20 to 24
