Xbox Game Pass Titles for August
Developed by Inverge Studios, Creatures of Ava lets you play as an explorer, Vic, on an expedition to Ava. The planet features four distinct biomes, each with their own flora and fauna. Players can tame over 20 wild creatures, learn the secrets of Ava and save the planet from a growing infection.
Creatures of Ava was announced for PC and Xbox consoles earlier this year and it will be added to Game Pass when it launches August 7.
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Is Coming to Xbox Game Pass on July 24
Last month, a reliable tipster had claimed that Xbox Game Pass would add Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy in August. The game is now confirmed to join the service on August 8. The trilogy includes remastered versions of the first three Crash Bandicoot games — Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.
Finally, Mafia: Definitive Edition is coming to Game Pass on August 13. Microsoft had confirmed late last month that the third-person shooter would join the service soon. Hangar 13’s remake of the 2002 classic has been built from the ground up with new assets, an expanded story, new vehicles, score and more.
Microsoft also announced the games leaving Game Pass on August 15. These include Airborne Kingdoms, Offworld Trading Company, Shadow Warrior 3 and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Is Reportedly Coming to Game Pass Next Month
Last month, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 became the first COD title on Game Pass when it joined the service on July 24. Modern Warfare 3 is currently available to play at no additional cost on Game Pass for Console, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate.
