In August, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will witness a refreshed lineup as Microsoft introduces a mix of popular titles and indie gems. Leading the additions is Assassin's Creed Mirage, a game that takes players back to the franchise’s roots with its stealth-action mechanics reminiscent of the Xbox 360-era games. Available from August 7 on Game Pass Ultimate, this entry promises to captivate both long-time fans and newcomers.
New Titles and Their Release Dates
The Ultimate tier also welcomes Rain World from August 5, Aliens: Fireteam Elite on August 12, and 9 Kings following closely on August 14. These intriguing additions are set to offer a diverse gaming experience, ranging from intense survival to strategic combat scenarios.
Meanwhile, the Game Pass Standard tier is not far behind in variety. Starting August 6, subscribers can delve into the futuristic narrative of Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. Other debuts that day include the thrilling downhill rides of Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, tactical warfare in MechWarrior 5: Clans, and the strategic defense challenges of Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap.
New titles expand Xbox Game Pass offerings this August
Bid Farewell to These Titles
As new games make their debut, several well-known titles will be leaving the Game Pass catalog on August 15. Among these departing titles are Anthem, which provided players with a dynamic, shared-world multiplayer environment, and the popular Farming Simulator 22, an engaging agricultural simulation. Persona 3 Reload, a beloved RPG, will also exit, marking a shift in what the platform offers. However, with EA's evolving strategies and platform announcements, these removals could pave the way for new opportunities.
Worldwide, Xbox Game Pass continues to adapt its offerings in response to both gamer interest and publisher strategies, ensuring a vibrant, ever-changing selection for subscribers. For those keen on experiencing any of the departing titles, the time to engage is now, as they remain accessible via Game Pass until their removal.
