It seems that Microsoft is very fond of announcing new additions to the Xbox Game Pass catalog: the company makes such announcements twice a month, and periodically repeats the same games in them. Yes, after first news at the beginning of July, today the second appeared: in particular, it confirms that The Cave and Techtonica (Game Preview) promised two weeks earlier have already entered the catalog.

In addition, the following game is also already available:

Toem (Cloud, Console, PC)
A hand-drawn “photo game”-adventure from the Swedish indie studio Something We Made. It was well received by critics and even won the Best Debut category at the 18th British Academy Games Awards.

 
Soon:
