Don't forget Gears of War: E-Day's Multiplayer Beta will be available to Ultimate and PC Game Pass members August 6-10, and there's plenty more still to come to Game Pass in late August, including Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. It's worth mentioning that Grave Seasons was supposed to be joining the service on August 14th as well, but it has now been delayed until Fall 2026.
In addition to all of these lovely Game Pass games, a 10-hour trial for Madden 27 is available for Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers starting August 6th as part of the EA Play service.
To wrap things up, as is the case every month, we've sadly got to say goodbye to a few games, with four games leaving Xbox Game Pass on August 15th.
