Xbox is kicking off August with a strong lineup of new Game Pass additions, featuring everything from indie favorites and co-op shooters to major AAA releases. Whether you’re looking for a story-driven adventure, tactical action, or a game to enjoy with friends, there’s something new arriving almost every week.
Leading the charge is Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which joins the service on August 7 for Cloud, Console, and PC. Fans of classic Assassin’s Creed gameplay can look forward to a stealth-focused adventure inspired by the franchise’s roots. Sports fans also have something to celebrate, as Madden NFL 26 launches its EA Play Early Access Trial on the same day for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members.
Beyond the new games, Ultimate subscribers can claim several exclusive perks throughout the month, including bonus content for Smite 2, Naraka: Bladepoint, War Thunder, and more. As always, a handful of titles will be leaving the service on August 15, giving players one last chance to jump in before they’re gone.
