Once again Microsoft delivers on its promise to provide Xbox Game Pass subscribers with interesting fresh titles on a monthly basis. Based on what’s been announced this week, August shapes up to be pretty great not just for those who love shooters, but also for strategy and sports game fans.

As the title says, Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon Wildlands is making its debut on Xbox Game Pass in August. In fact, the game is already available to play via cloud, console, and PC. The third-person military shooter was met with a lukewarm reception, but Ubisoft managed to turn it around and made the game quite enjoyable.

But that’s not all you get in August if you’re an Xbox Game Pass member. Come August 4, Shenzen and Turbo Golf Racing will be joining the service. The former is an indie puzzle game that challenges players to build circuits using a slew of components, while the latter is an arcade-style sports racing game for up to eight players online, in the same vein as Rocket League.

Both games are available on PC, but Xbox Game Pass members can also play Turbo Golf Racing via cloud and Xbox Series X/S. It’s worth mentioning that the sports racing game is not a full release, so you’ll be playing an early version that will be improved over the coming months.

Two Point Campus, the management simulation game that we’ve all been waiting for, joins Xbox Game Pass on August 9. Available day one with Game Pass, Two Point Hospital will be playable on PC, console and cloud.

Finally, three other games are expected to arrive on Xbox Game Pass: Cooking Simulator (PC, cloud, and console), Expeditions: Rome (PC), and Offworld Trading Company (PC).

In related news, five games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass on August 15, so play them while you still can: Boyfriend Dungeon, Curse of the Dead Gods, Library of Ruina, Starmancer, and Train Sim World 2.
