Microsoft has revealed another list of games due to arrive on Xbox Game Pass in the coming days and weeks. Among them are smaller indie titles as well as highly anticipated releases that will be available through the subscription from day one. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, the latest instalment in the popular series, looks particularly interesting. Players should also check the list of titles that will soon be removed from the library.
Xbox Game Pass will gain several new titles in the second half of August
The first of the new releases is Vapor World: Over the Mind, which arrives on Xbox Game Pass on 19 August. It's a narrative souls-like combined with a platformer in which the player takes the role of a boy trapped in a dark, dangerous world. An important gameplay element is the pairing system, and the game also focuses on uncovering memories and the story behind the mysterious world. On the same day subscribers will get BlazBlue Entropy Effect X, a dynamic roguelite set in the BlazBlue universe. Relooted will also join the service; in it players become thieves trying to recover African artefacts housed in Western museums. On 20 August Starsand Island will arrive, offering a much more relaxed experience centred on exploring an island, fishing, farming and meeting animals.
On 25 August two more titles will appear. Aerial_Knight’s DropShot blends a fast-paced FPS shooter with racing, while Blood Dungeon will offer 2D platforming survival combat. Players will traverse dangerous dungeons, dodge monsters, collect blood and power-ups, and use the bones they obtain later to develop their character.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy will debut on Xbox Game Pass, and several games will leave the service
The biggest new release is Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, which will arrive on Xbox Game Pass on 27 August and will be available on day one. The game tells the story of Sophia, who ends up on the mysterious Minotaur Island. There she will have to solve puzzles, traverse dangerous terrain and fight enemies, all while trying to escape an army that is pursuing her.
But that’s not the end of August’s releases. On 31 August Young Suns will move out of early access into full release — a narrative life sim set after a successful revolution on Jupiter. Then on 1 September Shelldiver joins Game Pass, an unusual game where the player helps a turtle catch jellyfish, upgrade equipment and explore ever-deeper parts of the ocean. Microsoft also reminded users about the titles that will soon leave the library. On 31 August the following will be removed from Xbox Game Pass: Another Crab’s Treasure, I Am Your Beast, Neon Abyss, One Lonely Outpost and The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt - Remastered Edition. NBA 2K26 will stick around a bit longer and remain available until 6 September. That means subscribers still have a few days to catch up on these titles before they’re gone.
Xbox Game Pass is once again getting a sizable batch of new titles, and the end of August looks particularly interesting. The biggest release will be Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, which will land in the service's library on day one. In addition, players will get, among others, Blood Dungeon, Vapor World: Over the Mind and Starsand Island. At the same time it's worth remembering the games leaving Game Pass, because some of them will disappear from the catalogue as early as 31 August.
