Whatever types of games you enjoy, you’ll find something to please you in the list of six new titles Microsoft confirmed are being added to Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate. With games in a variety of genres, this selection is sure to please current members and motivate new sign-ups for subscriptions.
Here Are the Six New Titles For Xbox Game Pass for August
The list of games coming to Xbox Game Pass soon showed up on the official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account.
Replying to its own tweet, the account listed the dates that the six new titles are arriving:
- Ashes Cricket, 8/1
- Pandemic, 8/1
- Downwell, 8/1
- Jackbox Party Pack 2, 8/8
- Space Hulk Tactics, 8/8
- Slay the Spire, 8/14
The majority of these games are, admittedly, not particularly big titles. In Ashes Cricket, we’ve got (obviously) a cricket game. In Pandemic, you operate as part of a disease control squad protecting the world from dangerous contagions. Downwell is a roguelike platformer, Jackbox Party Pack 2 is (clearly) a party game, and Space Hulk: Tactics is based on the board game by the same name.
The most well-known title on the list is Slay the Spire, a popular roguelike game which combines deck-building card game elements. Players and critics alike have praised its unique gameplay as well as its story, world and replay value.
