Xbox has revealed the first bundle of games headed to Game Pass/Game Pass Ultimate subscribers for the start of August 2024, and thanks to early leaks and official confirmations there are sadly few surprises here. It’s also an unusually small list with just three titles – a day one launch in Creatures of Ava, a new Activision joint in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and the very decent Mafia: Definitive Edition.
There are actually more games leaving than arriving in this batch, but take a look in more detail below:
