Xbox Game Pass: All the Games Coming and Leaving in August 2021

A new post by Microsoft on Xbox Wire has detailed the titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in August, including high-profile games such as Hades and Skate.

As is usual, the games are spread across both Xbox consoles and PC, with several also available to stream via cloud gaming. The latest additions come just a few days after Microsoft Flight Simulator and The Ascent were added to the service.

Among the games that will become available throughout the next few weeks are Skate, Skate 3, Hades, and Curse of the Dead Gods.

Following EA’s acquisition of Codemasters, several racers from the developer are being added to EA Play. These include Dirt 4, Dirt Rally, Dirt Rally 2.0, F1 2020, and Grid, which will all be available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

August will also see a few games leave Xbox Game Pass, with the biggest losses being Grand Theft Auto V and Final Fantasy VII.
