Xbox Game Pass subscribers receive Resident Evil VII, Spiritfarer and more soon

Xbox Game Pass continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, being a great way for players to try out the platform’s various first-party exclusives as well as unique indie titles they mightn’t purchase otherwise. Microsoft has recently revealed the next wave of games set to arrive soon – and it looks to be one of the most diverse line-ups yet. From Resident Evil VII to the recently launched Spiritfarer, there’s something for everyone.

Spiritfarer is a cosy management sim that already made its way to the service yesterday, but a flurry of additions has recently been announced by Microsoft. Arguably the most notable is Battletoads, an Xbox One exclusive, on August 20^th (Thursday). This will be joined by throwback RPG Crossing Souls and Darksiders: Genesis on PC and Don’t Starve: Giant Edition for both console and PC. New Super Lucky’s Tale follows them the very next day on August 21^st (Friday).

The final bout of August’s new Xbox Game Pass games arrive a week later on August 27^th and include Hypnospace Outlaw and Tell Me Why: Chapter 1. Then the day after on August 28^th subscribers can sink their teeth into Double Kick Heroes and Wasteland 3.

Here is a full list of the Xbox Game Pass titles coming in August:

• Spiritfarer (August 18^th)
• Battletoads (August 20^th)
• Crossing Souls (August 20^th)
• Darksiders Genesis (August 20^th)
• Don’t Starve: Giant Edition (August 20^th)
• New Super Lucky’s Tale (August 21^st)
• Hypnospace Outlaw (August 27^th)
• Tell Me Why: Chapter 1 (August 27^th)
• Double Kick Heroes (August 28^th)
• Wasteland 3 (August 28^th)

Microsoft also outlined a couple of games expected to come early September, too. These two titles will be Crusader Kings III on September 1^st and Resident Evil 7 Biohazard on September 3^rd.

Of course, so many new games arriving to the service does mean that there will be some games exiting Xbox Game Pass. The big loss will be Red Dead Redemption 2 on September 7^th, but we’ll pop the full list below:

• Creature in the Well (August 31^st)
• Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (August 31^st)
• Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 (August 31^st)
• Metro: Last Light Redux (August 31^st)

• NBA 2K20 (September 1^st)
• Red Dead Redemption 2 (September 7^th)
