August’s confirmed games, with a huge nugget

We already know some of the games that will arrive in Xbox Game Pass in August 2023. Subscribers will still be able to test promising titles as soon as they are released and discover a nugget.

The Xbox Game Pass welcomes a newcomer. Exit the Live Gold and hello the XGP Core. A new offer which is neither more nor less than the old boosted formula, giving access to a small catalog which should expand slightly over the years. No revolution on the horizon, even if console players regret that Microsoft has not better harmonized its offers. In the line of sight, the absence of online gaming integrated into the classic formula of the subscription service when the cheapest level offers it. Pending a possible response to these complaints, the Redmond firm continues its routine. As the month of July draws to a close, we already know part of the schedule for the Xbox Game Pass of August 2023.

Games confirmed for Xbox Game Pass August 2023

Despite the recent changes, Xbox Game Pass continues on its usual routine. For a few years now, the subscription service has become the spearhead of the brand. Microsoft relies heavily on it and does not hesitate to sacrifice some precious sales to boost the interest of its offer by offering its large exclusives in the catalog as soon as they are launched. The month of September therefore promises to be one of the most greedy for subscribers with the arrival of Starfield. While waiting for the launch of “Skyrim in space”, the Redmond firm continues to put its hand in the checkbook to offer some day one releases from third-party developers and publishers. This then allows you to have a vision of the Xbox Game Pass program for August 2023 which will be marked by the arrival of four new games, including the real nugget that is Celestial and the one to become: Sea of ​​Stars.

• Celeste – 1^er August (Console, PC, Cloud)
• Everspace 2 – August 15 (Consoles)
• Texas Chain Saw Massacre – August 18 (Consoles, PC)
• Sea Of Stars – August 29 (Consoles, PC)

A future nugget available from its launch?

Suffice to say that the month of August promises to be very interesting. Lovers of multiplayer experiences will be able to discover Texas Chain Saw Massacre from its launch. This new adaptation of the iconic film comes as an asymmetrical third-person horror game directly inspired by the 1974 work. Players take on the role of either Leatherface himself or the survivors trying to escape their executioner. Sea Of Stars could be one of the great surprises of Xbox Game Pass August 2023.

Since its announcement, the retro turn-based RPG has not failed to catch the eye of fans of the genre. Between its seductive art direction, its classic but promising mechanics and an old-school feel, the indie game has it all. It is recalled that these four games represent only a part of the entries of the Xbox Game Pass next month. Other productions will be announced in early and mid August. It only remains to wait for the next few days to discover the first wave of additions.
