July 2026 is front-loaded with launches. Two land on the same day: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and EA Sports College Football 27, both on Thursday, July 9.
AC Black Flag Resynced is a full, ground-up remake of 2013’s Black Flag on the modern Anvil engine (Ubisoft is careful to call it a remake, not a remaster). PC unlocks globally at 2:00 PM UTC on July 9; consoles unlock at local midnight. There’s no early access — every edition unlocks together. Full details on our Black Flag Resynced page.
College Football 27 is a milestone for the series: it comes to PC for the first time (via Steam, Epic and the EA app), alongside PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with full cross-play. Standard launches at 11:00 AM PT (18:00 UTC) on July 9; the Deluxe edition and MVP Bundle unlocked three days early, on July 6.
The following day, Palworld hits 1.0 on July 10 — a free upgrade for existing owners across PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and on Game Pass day one. See our Palworld 1.0 launch guide for the full breakdown.
Rounding out the month, Halo: Campaign Evolved arrives July 28 — an Unreal Engine 5 remake of the original Halo, and notably the first mainline Halo campaign ever on PlayStation. It’s $49.99, on Game Pass day one, with premium-edition buyers getting up to five days of early access from July 23.
