As we always do around this time of the month, we’re taking an early look today at what’s ahead for August 2026’s Xbox Game Pass selection, with five games currently scheduled to arrive in a few weeks’ time.
We’ve got two absolutely massive additions here in Beast of Reincarnation and Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, and keep in mind that we’ll obviously hear of many more titles for August over the coming weeks.
