Summary
- Xbox Game Pass adds Mafia: Definitive Edition on August 13, breaking from its typical bi-weekly announcement pattern.
- Mafia was previously leaked for Game Pass.
- Other new Xbox Game Pass games for August 2024 include games like Creatures of Ava and SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato.
Following a leak, Microsoft has officially confirmed that Xbox Game Pass is adding Mafia: Definitive Edition to its roster on August 13. When it comes to Xbox Game Pass announcements, Microsoft typically sticks to announcing them every two weeks or so, shining a spotlight on the titles that are coming in the near future. However, there are rare occasions when Microsoft breaks from its well-established Xbox Game Pass announcement patterns.
One such break occurred at the end of July when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was announced for Xbox Game Pass after the Wave 2 announcement had already occurred. Now, yet another Xbox Game Pass announcement has come at an unexpected time.
Xbox Game Pass Losing 3 Highly Rated Games Today
Xbox Game Pass is losing one of its highest-rated games and two more titles later today, but there's still enough time to play through some of them.
Despite the fact that Microsoft has yet to announce the full Xbox Game Pass August 2024 Wave 1 lineup, it has confirmed that Mafia: Definitive Edition is coming on August 13. Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remaster of the original Mafia game. When it joins the Xbox Game Pass lineup, it will be available to play across Xbox consoles, the cloud, and PC. Notably, Mafia: Definitive Edition was leaked for Xbox Game Pass ahead of its official announcement, something that also happened with Modern Warfare 3. It's unclear if these unexpected Game Pass announcements are a reaction to the leaks.
New Xbox Game Pass Games for August 2024 List
- Creatures of Ava - August 7
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy - August 8 (RUMORED)
- Mafia: Definitive Edition - August 13
- Core Keeper - August 27
- SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato - TBA
- Wargroove 2 - TBA (RUMORED)
That seems unlikely, as there have been other new Xbox Game Pass games leaked for August 2024 that have not been confirmed by Microsoft. The same people that leaked Mafia: Definitive Edition for Game Pass have also claimed that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is coming to Xbox Game Pass on August 8. No such announcement has been made yet, and so it remains to be seen if Crash is really coming to the service or not. However, considering the leaker's track record so far, it would be more surprising if Crash didn't come to Game Pass in August 2024. Wargroove 2 has also been leaked for the Game Pass August 2024 lineup, but without a specific date.
As far as officially confirmed games go, there's a decent amount for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to look forward to in August 2024. Creatures of Ava is coming to Xbox Game Pass on August 7, Core Keeper is coming on August 27, and SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato is coming at an unspecified date in August.
