Upcoming Titles for Xbox Game Pass in August 2025
Microsoft has unveiled an exciting lineup for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, revealing the new titles set to arrive in the first half of August 2025. Although this wave does not feature any day-one releases, it includes a variety of popular indie games along with a notable entry from the Assassin’s Creed series.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Joins the Roster
A key highlight is the addition of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which debuted earlier this year. This installment represents a shift in the franchise, offering a non-RPG experience for the first time in many years. Set in ninth-century Baghdad, players will follow the narrative of Basim Ibn Ishaq, an assassin navigating the city’s intricate politics and challenges.
Indie Games Making Their Mark
On the indie gaming side, the popular early access title 9 Kings will join the Game Pass lineup, promising to deliver an engaging experience for subscribers. Additionally, the co-op shooter Aliens: Fireteam Elite makes its return to the service, allowing gamers to team up against waves of Xenomorphs.
