Microsoft has unveiled a new lineup of titles that will arrive in the Xbox Game Pass library in the coming days and weeks. Among them are both high-profile day-one releases and long-awaited updates, as well as open tests of new games. The biggest draw of the list is undoubtedly early access to the open beta of Gears of War: E-Day.
Gears of War: E-Day and more new releases are coming to Xbox Game Pass
The biggest new feature from Microsoft is early access to the open beta of Gears of War: E-Day. Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers will gain access to the tests on 6 August. Players will be able to try the new Horde Siege PvE mode, which expands the familiar co‑op, wave‑based combat with larger maps, more participants and more spectacular encounters. On the same day PowerWash Simulator 2 will also arrive on the service — the sequel to the popular cleaning simulator, offering new locations, gear and additional gameplay features. On 11 August the catalogue will be expanded with Bounty Star, a game that blends mech combat with base‑building and farming elements. That same day sees the arrival of the humorous dating sim Date Everything!, in which players can form relationships with almost any object in the house. Grounded 2 will also return with a major update, Into The Abyss, expanding the game world and early access content. Microsoft is continuing its strategy of day‑one releases, so subscribers don’t have to buy new titles separately. All of these games will roll out to the service throughout the first half of August.
August will bring more games and changes to the Xbox Game Pass library
The list of August additions isn't limited to the biggest releases. On 4 August refreshed versions of the classic Heretic and Hexen joined the service, along with the new action RPG Beast of Reincarnation from Game Freak. On 6 August subscribers will also get the roguelite Monsters are Coming!, while a day later trials for EA Sports Madden NFL 27 will begin via EA Play. The following days will see releases of Ball x Pit, Cricket 26, Mio: Memories in Orbit, Sandustry and Egging On. Microsoft also reminded players of Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 7 that they can claim a free cosmetic pack containing operator skins, weapon blueprints and other extras. The company also announced the games leaving the service on 15 August. Atlas Fallen, Firewatch, Aliens: Fireteam Elite and Menace (in Game Preview on PC) will be removed from the library. That means people planning to finish those titles have a few more days to play them or buy them at the subscriber discount. The latest update shows Microsoft continues to regularly expand the Game Pass library, offering both brand-new releases and returns of classic titles.
The first half of August looks set to be particularly busy for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Microsoft has put together a mix of new releases, classics and major updates, and the biggest event will undoubtedly be the open beta of Gears of War: E-Day, available early to subscribers of the service. As a result, the Game Pass offering will once again expand significantly.
