The Assassin’s Creed franchise continues to thrive, with Ubisoft reporting over 155 million copies sold as of 2023. This makes it one of the best-selling franchises in gaming history. Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass will have the chance to dive into the latest installment, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, starting August 7.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a popular service that provides access to an extensive library of games on Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, PC, and even mobile devices for a monthly fee of $20. This subscription includes a variety of games, with frequent new additions such as Doom: The Dark Ages, as well as benefits like online multiplayer and discounts on non-Game Pass titles.
In addition to Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, Xbox Game Pass is set to welcome several new games in August. Rain World is currently available, where players navigate a perilous ecosystem as a slugcat, utilizing strategy to survive against larger foes.
On August 6, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector joins Game Pass Standard, allowing players to experience this RPG sequel, where you play as an emulated human trying to escape a corporation that controls you. Meanwhile, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, also debuting on August 6, offers a multiplayer snowboarding adventure for up to eight players.
MechWarrior 5: Clans becomes available shortly after for Standard subscribers, allowing players to engage in tactical combat in towering mechs. Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap brings its tower-defense action to new subscribers as well, where strategic co-op play enhances the experience.
Additionally, Aliens: Fireteam Elite returns to the Game Pass catalog on August 12 for an exhilarating survival shooter experience against iconic xenomorphs. Players can look forward to 9 Kings, which marries kingdom building, deck building, and roguelike elements, slated for release on August 14.
While new games are being added, some titles will be leaving Game Pass on August 15, reminding players to complete their current quests before they’re removed.
The growth of the Xbox Game Pass service, coupled with the ongoing success of the Assassin’s Creed series, paints a bright picture for the future of gaming. With a diverse selection of titles available, players have much to look forward to in the coming months.
