Dec 24, 2024 8:28 AM

  Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in late August, and the lineup is heavy with new-release games. Subscribers can look forward to Psychonauts 2, Humankind, a remake of the classic Myst, and a couple more new indies in 12 Minutes and Recompile. On top of that, a number of EA titles, including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Battlefront II, are now playable via the cloud.

  Here are your late-August PC and console Game Pass titles:

  Humankind (PC) – Available Today

  Available on day one with Xbox Game Pass for PC, Humankind is a historical strategy game where you’ll be re-writing the entire narrative of human history. Combine up to 60 different cultures to create your own civilization and lead your people from the Ancient to the Modern Age.

  Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (Cloud) EA Play – Available Today

  A galaxy-spanning adventure awaits in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, a 3rd person action-adventure title from Respawn Entertainment (Titanfall 2, Apex Legends). An abandoned Padawan must complete his training, develop new powerful Force abilities, and master the art of the lightsaber – all while staying one step ahead of the Empire.

  Recompile (Cloud, Console, and PC) – August 19

  Available with Xbox Game Pass on day one! This atmospheric, Metroidvania-inspired hacking adventure lets you take control of a semi-sapient program struggling against deletion. In the sprawling 3D world of the Mainframe, Recompile features intense combat, tight 3D platforming, super-powered abilities, and an environmental logic-based hacking mechanic.

  Train Sim World 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – August 19

  Drive high-speed German rail as you push the throttle in the famous DB ICE 3M out of Köln. Take on the challenge of long freight across Sand Patch Grade using the raw power of the CSX AC4400CW.

  Psychonauts 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – August 25

  Combining quirky missions and mysterious conspiracies, Psychonauts 2 is a platform-adventure game with cinematic style and tons of customizable psychic powers, serving up danger, excitement, and laughs in equal measure as players guide Raz on a journey through the minds of friends and foes on a quest to defeat a murderous psychic villain.

  Myst (Cloud, Console, and PC) – August 26

  Available with Xbox Game Pass on day one! Welcome to Myst: the starkly beautiful island, eerily tinged with mystery and shrouded in intrigue. Explore the deeper connections and uncover a story of ruthless family betrayal.

  Xbox Game Pass grants players access to more than 100 games for 10 bucks a month — you can check out a full list of available console and PC games here. As always, Microsoft is offering new subscribers a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (which also includes Xbox Live Gold and EA Play subscriptions) for a mere $1.

  What Game Pass titles do you plan on tackling over the next few weeks? I’m intrigued by 12 Minutes and Recompile, and you can’t go wrong with good ol’ Myst.
