Microsoft has revealed the upcoming titles coming to the Xbox Game Pass mid-August 2022 lineup, and this one adds several indie games including Day One releases, plus a Breath of the Wild-inspired open-world adventure from Ubisoft. A total of eight games have been confirmed, including the usual slew of DLC and game updates, Game Pass Ultimate Perks, and, as always, a list of games leaving the service come August 31.
Xbox Game Pass Mid-August 2022
Coffee Talk (Cloud, Console, and PC) (ID@Xbox) (Available today) – a talking simulator that tasks you, an owner of a café, to listen to and help a variety of fantasy-inspired people with their problems. Elves, succubae, aliens, and more, explore a modern fantasy world imbued with the humanity of a regular one. Coffee Talk is also available on PC via Steam, with a sequel coming in 2023.
Midnight Fight Express (Cloud, Console, and PC) (ID@Xbox) (coming August 23) – follow the exploits of a former member of the criminal underworld as he is lured back into “the life” by a mysterious AI drone. Your mission is simple: fight against waves and waves of enemies and break through to the city before sunrise, and in the process, prevent a citywide criminal takeover. Midnight Fight Express is also coming to PC via Steam.
Immortals Fenyx Rising (Cloud, Console, and PC) (coming August 30) – in this game very clearly inspired by Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a winged demigod named Fenyx must embark on a journey across the mysterious and beautiful lands to save the Greek Gods.
