In addition to brand-new games, updates and DLC are also coming to Game Pass. Subscribers can look forward to State of Decay 2: Homecoming, the Borderlands 3 themed Making Mayhem update in Sea of Thieves, and Wasteland 3’s Cult of the Holy Detonation.
August has already been a great month for Game Pass. Hades, 2020’s phenomenal rogue-like from Supergiant games, was released on Game Pass on August 13th and is enjoying a second renaissance of sorts a year after its Switch debut and almost two years after being released on PC. Quake, the great granddaddy of the modern FPS, was also released on Game Pass this month, with enhanced graphics and next-generation updates coming soon.
