Xbox Game Pass August 2024 Joining Titles
Update August 21 – Microsoft revealed this month’s wave 2 list. It includes previously rumored Atlas Fallen, previously confirmed day-one title Core Keeper, and one title scheduled for September, Star Trucker. Since it feels a bit short, there is a chance that more will be added before the month ends. Hopefully, SOPA Tale of the Stolen Potato makes it on time.
What’s for sure though is, Wargroove 2 did not enter game pass on the 15th like previously rumored. Of the August leaks, it’s only this one that did not materialize. But who knows, there’s still time and the date could just have been wrong.
Also included in the update is Call of Duty Black Ops 6 which will start its Open Beta early access on August 30.
Update August 11 – QuakeCon 2024 was a blast especially to Game Pass subscribers with the announcement and release of DOOM + DOOM II Collection. This compilation was co-developed by id Software, MachineGames, and NightDive Studios offering multiple expansions packs including a new set of levels. It launched on August 8 for PC, Playstation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and straight to Xbox Game Pass.
DOOM + DOOM II Collection marks the second day-one launch in the service and the 6th confirmed title for this month.
Update August 8 – Microsoft has FINALLY announced the Wave 1 list for Xbox Game Pass August 2024. And now, we can officially move Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy from rumored to confirmed. This trilogy includes Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.
As per announcement, Creatures of Ava (which joined yesterday), Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (entering today), and Mafia: Definitive Edition (entering August 13) are in the list. While Crash Bandicoot has successfully joined wave 1, Wargroove 2 has failed to. Considering it was rumored/leaked to join August 15, it was expected that it would be part of the first set. But it’s still more than a week before wave 2, so cross-fingers the announcement for the second set starts on the 15th mark.
Update July 31 – Mafia Definitive Edition has been officially announced to join Xbox Game Pass August 2024. It was very recently leaked by a reliable Game Pass leaker, eXtas1s. He also reported that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Atlas Fallen, and Wargroove 2 will join the ranks as well, but that has yet to be officially announced. For now, 4 titles are confirmed for the August lineup.
Update July 26 – The first confirmed title for wave 2 has been revealed and subscribers are in for a treat with the full release of Core Keeper. This online co-op game is finally coming out of Early Access and will debut its 1.0 version on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, and Microsoft Store for Windows PC on August 27, 2024.
Original publication – The official announcement for Xbox Game Pass Wave 1 titles for August 2024 has not officially been released. However, there are already 2 previously confirmed games to be part of it and both are day-one launches. There’s also 1 more title that was leaked which a reliable source recently confirmed, but the official announcement has yet to be made. And no, it’s not SteamWorld Heist II.
First on the list is Creatures of Ava. It will be released on August 7, 2024 for PC and Xbox Series X|S and is scheduled to launch day one on Game Pass for PC, Console, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
It is an upcoming action-adventure game where you’ll explore a vibrant alien planet filled with unique creatures. These once peaceful creatures have been infected by a mysterious disease called “The Withering,” causing them to become aggressive. Your mission is to understand and save these creatures by forming bonds with them and utilizing their abilities to explore the planet and combat the infection.
The second confirmed title is SOPA Tale of the Stolen Potato. It was announced to launch day one on Game Pass as well but unlike Creatures of Ava, no release date was announced. The launch window is the whole month of August so it could be part of wave 1 or 2. This, we will have to wait for further announcement.
SOPA is an upcoming indie adventure game that promises a heartwarming and whimsical journey. It follows young Miho who is tasked with fetching a potato for his grandmother’s soup. However, an unexpected twist of fate transports him into a fantastical realm filled with magical creatures and peculiar challenges.
The third title that isn’t officially confirmed is Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. It was rumored to do so, together with SteamWorld Heist II, as part of Game Pass wave 1 for August. However, the latter was announced to be a mistake stating that the video that initially showed the Game Pass launch was a technical error.
Whereas Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilopy, no official word was released yet but reliable leaker eXtas1s confirmed the news on his official X page. It will allegedly enter Game Pass on August 8, 2024.
