Three new games announced for Xbox Game Pass in August, including a brand new title
Microsoft has announced the games that will be added to the Xbox Game Pass by the middle of the month - and there aren't that many in August. The highlight for many is likely to be Creatures of Ava, which will be available directly on release in Microsoft's gaming subscription and sends players on another monster hunt following the success of Palword. Retro fans who want to experience the games of their youth with better graphics will get their money's worth with the new editions of Crash Bandicoot and Mafia.
Creatures of Ava - August 7
After Palworld comes the next game that focuses on taming mysterious creatures. Creatures of Ava transports players to a wondrous world rich in different biomes - from dense forests and icy mountains to glowing deserts. The game is played from the perspective of the young researcher Vic, who tames creatures and works with them to save the planet from a mysterious infection. But in Creatures of Ava, players not only tame monsters, but also explore ancient ruins, solve tricky puzzles and spend time with the indigenous peoples to learn their customs and uncover the secrets of the world of Ava.
