 Microsoft has announced the next batch of new Game Pass titles for August and they include Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Firewatch. August has already seen a generous selection of new games being added to Game Pass, including the classic Celeste and Limbo, as well as the underappreciated A Short Hike. With Everspace 2 out today all of the previously announced games are now available to download, which has led to Microsoft announcing a new wave of four titles – plus the new Quake 2 remaster. Quake 2 is on there because it's a first party title, but the others are not, with Microsoft paying for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game to be available from day one on Friday, August 18. A day before that is narrative game Firewatch (which everyone seems to love except us) and then on August 29 it's much fancied Chrono Trigger homage Sea Of Stars. Sea Of Stars is in an unusual position because it'll be available day one via both PS Plus Extra and Game Pass, the first time that's ever happened with a game. So unless you only own a Switch it should be available to almost everyone for no extra charge. Xbox Game Pass games for August 2023 - second wave Firewatch (Cloud, Console, and PC) – August 17 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Cloud, Console, and PC) – August 18 Sea of Stars (Cloud, Console, and PC) – August 29 Gris (Cloud, Console, and PC) – September 5 The final game to be announced is 2D platformer Gris, although that won't be available until September 5 – at which point the next wave of titles for the first half of September will be revealed. As ever, while new games are added to Game Pass others are removed and the following will all be leaving the service this month, on August 31: Black Desert Commandos 3 HD Remaster Immortality Nuclear Throne Surgeon Simulator 2 Tinykin We'd particularly recommend playing Immortality and Nuclear Throne, before they're gone.
