We'll go into the leaked list, but it seems like it should be fairly watertight. If so, August looks to be a pretty good month for Game Pass.

July was chock-full of great titles, like Journey to the Savage Planet, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 and Flintlock: Siege of Dawn.

Whether or not it contends with the offerings of rival subscription service PlayStation Plus, we'll leave that to you.

But that's quite enough from us. Onto the games!

So far, we only have one confirmed game coming to Xbox Game Pass:

Crash N Sane Trilogy – 8th August
Mafia: Definitive Edition – 13th August (confirmed)
Wargroove 2 – 15th August

What happened to Xbox Games with Gold?

Xbox Games with Gold. Xbox

Xbox Live Gold was discontinued on 1st September 2023, and those who kept their subscription will have been automatically swapped over to the new Xbox Game Pass Core tier as part of a price increase for Xbox Game Pass.

This change-up removes the two free monthly games and replaces them with a library of around 30 titles - including Halo 5: Guardians, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and Forza Horizon 4, to name a few.

Xbox Game Pass Core subscribers will still be able to access online, as well as certain deals and discounts.

Microsoft plans to update the Game Pass Core library two to three times a year, and in December 2023 added Chivalry 2 (6th December) and Totally Reliable Delivery Service (6th December) to the service.

What other Xbox Game Pass games are coming up?

Looking further into the future, the following Xbox Game Pass games have been confirmed for upcoming releases on the service, though a lot of dates are still to be announced.
