Xbox Game Pass, August 2022: games for the second half of the month for subscribers
Xbox Game Pass, August 2022
This August 2022 is proving to be a month of great interest for Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass, as it brings with it, only for the second half of the month, as many as 14 new games in the catalog. In addition to the standard update announced a few days ago, in fact, other surprises also emerged during this week, including the additions by Bethesda on the occasion of QuakeCon 2022 and the surprise inclusion of Death Stranding, which represented an event of considerable importance.However, great attention continues to emerge in particular to the PC Game Pass, given that many of the additions are dedicated to the Windows platform: previously considered more neglected than consoles, the PC section of the Game Pass, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly important, also through exclusive additions that greatly enrich the service and, consequently, also the overall offer of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. So let's do the usual overview of the games arriving in the second half of August 2022 in the Xbox Game Pass.

Xbox announced the latest infusion of fresh blood into the Game Pass catalog, and it’s looking good for the month. The new round of additions includes four Day One releases and the relatively big Ubisoft title Immortals: Fenyx Rising.
The first wave begins with Coffee Talk, a visual novel love story which launches on the platform today. Midnight Fight Express, the first Day One release, launches on August 23. It’s followed on August 25 by puzzle game Exapunks and adventure game Opus: Echo of Starsong — Full Bloom Edition.
The next bunch of titles all launch on August 30. These include the Day One releases Commandos 3 — HD Edition, mystery game Immortality from the creator of Her Story, and puzzle platformer Tinykin. The final launch of the day is Immortals: Fenyx Rising.
Unfortunately, a fresh batch of games means that we have to sacrifice others, and Game Pass is losing some big names at the end of August. These include Hades, Myst, Elite: Dangerous, NBA 2K22, Signs of the Sojourner, Spiritfarer, Twelve Minutes, Two Point Hospital (right after getting Two Point Campus, too), What Remains of Edith Finch, and World War Z.
