What you need to know
- Three more games are headed to Xbox Game Pass in the coming weeks.
- Subscribers will be able to play the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Mafia: Definitive Edition, and Creatures of Ava.
- A few games are also leaving the subscription service soon, including Shadow Warrior 3.
As a seasoned researcher with a penchant for video games, spanning over two decades of gaming experiences, I can confidently say that the latest Xbox Game Pass additions are music to my ears (and eyes, considering my age). The arrival of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Mafia: Definitive Edition brings a sense of nostalgia coupled with the excitement of revisiting these iconic titles in the modern gaming landscape.
Everyone’s favorite orange marsupial is on the way.
On Tuesday, Xbox Wire unveiled the upcoming lineup for Xbox Game Pass in August 2024. While the initial selection is smaller, it’s noteworthy because it includes the arrival of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, as we earlier reported and now confirmed by Windows Central.
In the past few weeks, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy became the second game from Activision Blizzard King to join Microsoft’s subscription service. Earlier in July, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 had already been added. Following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard King in October 2023, Microsoft has chosen a gradual strategy, releasing games onto Xbox Game Pass one by one rather than all at once.
Here are the specifics about the games joining Xbox Game Pass in the early part of August 2024, which you can explore further down below:
August 7
- Creatures of Ava (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Windows PC)
August 8
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Windows PC)
August 13
- Mafia: Definitive Edition
What’s leaving Xbox Game Pass on August 15?
As someone who has been subscribing to Xbox Game Pass for a while now, I can confidently say that it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made as a gamer. Every month, there’s always a fresh selection of games to try out, and I’ve discovered some real gems that I might have missed otherwise. However, it’s always bittersweet when some games leave the service, as I know I only have a limited time to play them. That’s why I make sure to take advantage of the discounted prices for purchasing games while they’re still on Xbox Game Pass – it helps me save money and keep my gaming library growing. If you’re an avid gamer like myself, I highly recommend giving Xbox Game Pass a try!
- Airborne Kingdoms
- Offworld Trading Company
- Shadow Warrior 3
- The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Analysis: Let the Activision games continue
It’s promising to notice two popular Activision Blizzard titles join Xbox Game Pass within just two months. This could indicate that the flow is gradually increasing, albeit modestly. I’m not anticipating a massive influx of games, but it would be delightful if this regularity persists, with one or two games added each month from now on.
In many instances, you’ll find numerous classic Call of Duty games, especially the older ones. Although these iconic titles are among the top choices for gamers purchasing them through backward compatibility, it would be great if we could re-experience those campaigns (or catch up on a few that I might have missed) without having to shell out a small fortune.
