There are three new games for Game Pass subscribers until mid-August - including two remakes for fans of retro games and a new release that will be included in Microsoft's gaming subscription directly on release.

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.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Collection - August 8

In the iconic platformer series Crash Bandicoot, you play as the genetically modified loot badger Crash as he battles the evil scientist Dr. Neo Cortex and his henchmen. Crash jumps, spins and runs through dangerous levels to save his friends and save the world from Cortex's sinister plans. The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Collection includes the first three games in the series with improved graphics, optimized controls and new content.

Mafia: Definitive Edition - August 13th

Mafia transports players to the USA in the 1930s. In the role of cab driver Tommy Angelo, players involuntarily find themselves in the criminal underworld and have to complete various tasks for the Salieri family. There are shootouts, chases and exciting missions. Players can also discover hidden collectibles and explore the city freely. The Definitive Edition is a comprehensive remake of the original game from 2002 - with better graphics, optimized game mechanics and reworked cutscenes.
