Microsoft has just revealed the new Xbox games coming to Xbox Game Pass in August. Four new games are coming on all platforms this Thursday, August 5, with Curse of the Dead Gods, Dodgeball Academia, Katamari Damacy Reroll, and the puzzle game Lumines Remastered.

For Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, there are also some EA Play updates this week with Skate joining the EA Play List on August 5, and Skate 3 becoming cloud-enabled on the same day. Dirt 4, Dirt Rally, Dirt Rally 2.0, Grid, and F1 2020 will also become available via EA Play on Xbox consoles starting August 10.

Two more games will be available on Xbox, PC, and Cloud next week, starting with Arf of Rally on August 12. The critically-acclaimed roguelike action game Hades will also join the catalog on August 13, the same day as its launches on Xbox consoles.

Lastly, Xbox Game Pass for PC members will get access to Microsoft Solitaire Collection: Premium Edition on August 17. In addition to the ad-free experience, subscribers will also get an exclusive Xbox Game Pass card to use in the casual game.

Unfortunately, seven games will also leave the Xbox Game Pass catalog in the first half of August: GTA V will be removed on August 8, while Ape Out, Crossing Souls, Darksiders Genesis, Don’t Starve, Final Fantasy VII, and Train Sim World 2020 will follow on August 15.
