New Xbox Game Pass August 2022 releases: Free games on console, PC & Cloud and everything leaving

Microsoft’s subscription service is about to add new titles as part of the Xbox Game Pass August 2022 lineup. Here’s all we know so far.

Microsoft’s monthly subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, keeps going from strength to strength, with July’s lineup saw the addition of everything from Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol, to the return of the Yakuza franchise and the wildly popular PowerWash Simulator. There were also big day one launches like As Dusk Falls, which we awarded an 8.5 out of 10 in our review.

August may be a little way off yet, but we know some of the games coming. Here’s all we know about the Xbox Game Pass lineup for August 2022.
