Highlights
- Only two Xbox Game Pass games have been confirmed for August 2024 so far, with more likely to be announced in the future.
- Creatures of Ava and SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato are the two games scheduled for release on the service in August.
- Xbox Game Pass subscribers can anticipate a strong lineup of games starting in September 2024, with titles like STALKER 2 and Frostpunk 2.
While there will almost certainly be more games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to look forward to in August 2024, to date, only two games have been confirmed. New Xbox Game Pass games are announced around the beginning of each month and in the middle of each month, with Microsoft keeping things focused on what’s coming in the next two weeks for the service. Because of this, the Xbox Game Pass games for August 2024 are mostly a mystery for now.
The full scope of what Xbox Game Pass is bringing to the table in August 2024 won’t be revealed until the beginning of next month, but as usual, release date announcements have given fans a preview of what to expect. Whenever a game is confirmed as a day one Xbox Game Pass game, its release date announcement helps fill out the Game Pass calendar for the year.

Xbox Game Pass subscribers now have free DLC to claim for one of the subscription service’s games.
That’s how we know that Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to Creatures of Ava and SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato. Creatures of Ava is coming on August 7, while SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato is currently without a release date but is scheduled to come to the service at some point in August. Creatures of Ava is a game where players save various creatures. It’s sort of like Pokemon, but with an environmental/animal-friendly message. SOPA, meanwhile, is a narrative-driven adventure game with impressive visuals about a young boy exploring a fantasy land in search of ingredients for his grandmother’s soup. Both games have a ton of potential, and it will be exciting to see how they’re received by Game Pass subscribers in August.
New Xbox Game Pass Games for August 2024
- Creatures of Ava – August 7
- SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato – August TBA
Officially, Creatures of Ava and SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato are the only two games confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in August 2024. However, there are leaks and rumors about other games that may be making their Game Pass debuts in August. One leaker has claimed that Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is coming to Xbox Game Pass in August. Another has suggested that Dave the Diver is joining Game Pass soon as well, but neither of those games have actually been confirmed, so fans should keep their expectations in check. For now, Creatures of Ava and SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato are the only two games that Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to playing in August 2024 for sure – barring any release date delays, that is.
While August 2024 is looking rather bare when it comes to new Xbox Game Pass games, the service should then go on a hot streak. The Xbox Game Pass September 2024 lineup is already stacked thanks to new additions like STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Ara: History Untold, and Frostpunk 2, plus Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is coming to Game Pass in October. Avowed and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are both expected to join the Game Pass lineup this year as well, so the last four months should be huge for the service.
