Summary
Following a leak, Microsoft has officially confirmed thatXbox Game Passis addingMafia: Definitive Editionto its roster on August 13. When it comes toXbox Game Passannouncements, Microsoft typically sticks to announcing them every two weeks or so, shining a spotlight on the titles that are coming in the near future. However, there are rare occasions when Microsoft breaks from its well-established Xbox Game Pass announcement patterns.
One such break occurred at the end of July whenCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3was announced for Xbox Game Passafter the Wave 2 announcement had already occurred. Now, yet another Xbox Game Pass announcement has come at an unexpected time.
Despite the fact that Microsoft has yet to announce the full Xbox Game Pass August 2024 Wave 1 lineup, it has confirmed thatMafia: Definitive Editionis coming on August 13.Mafia: Definitive Editionis a remaster of the originalMafiagame. When it joins the Xbox Game Pass lineup, it will be available to play across Xbox consoles, the cloud, and PC. Notably,Mafia: Definitive Editionwas leaked for Xbox Game Passahead of its official announcement, something that also happened withModern Warfare 3. It’s unclear if these unexpected Game Pass announcements are a reaction to the leaks.
New Xbox Game Pass Games for August 2024 List
That seems unlikely, as there have been other new Xbox Game Pass games leaked for August 2024 that have not been confirmed by Microsoft. The same people that leakedMafia: Definitive Editionfor Game Pass have also claimed thatCrash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogyis coming to Xbox Game Pass on August 8. No such announcement has been made yet, and so it remains to be seen ifCrashis really coming to the service or not. However, considering the leaker’s track record so far, it would be more surprising ifCrashdidn’tcome to Game Pass in August 2024.Wargroove 2has also been leaked for the Game Pass August 2024 lineup, but without a specific date.
