Xbox Game Pass August 2024: Every New Game & What's Leaving This Month

Summary Four games and free trial are currently confirmed to be coming to Xbox Game Pass in August 2024.

Mafia: Definitive Edition and Creatures of Ava are among the new titles coming to the service.

Four games are also scheduled to leave Game Pass during the month.

August 2024 promises to be an exciting month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, with a fresh lineup of games set to join the service and some beloved titles bidding farewell. Game Pass is a subscription service offered by Microsoft that provides access to a vast library of games for a monthly fee. Subscribers can download and play any game available on the service without any additional cost, making it a great value for players who want to experience a variety of titles without purchasing each one individually.

Game Pass includes a mix of first-party Microsoft games, third-party titles, and indie gems, ensuring there's something for everyone. New games are added regularly, while others cycle out, keeping the library dynamic and ever-evolving. This month, the Game Pass library is changing once again and staying updated on the games being added and removed is crucial to avoid missing out on any essential titles. The new games will bring thrilling adventures and excitement, while the departing titles may leave a void in the gaming experience if not played soon.
