Xbox Game Pass is set to welcome three new titles in August 2024, including the highly anticipated Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Mafia: Definitive Edition, and the day-one release Creatures of Ava. The N. Sane Trilogy features remastered versions of the original three Crash Bandicoot games, showcasing improved graphics and new features, and is seen as part of a gradual rollout of Activision Blizzard titles since Microsoft's acquisition. Additionally, the service will see some long-standing games depart, prompting users to purchase them at a discount before they leave. While the overall number of new games is low, the inclusion of popular franchises is expected to maintain subscriber interest. Future rumors suggest more Activision titles may soon be added to Game Pass, indicating a slow but steady integration of the publisher's catalog. This strategy contrasts with past acquisitions, where titles were released en masse, suggesting Microsoft is favoring a more measured approach.
