Game Pass Minute: ‘Inside Xbox’ Reveals Fantastic New Xbox Game Pass Additions For Gamescom!

As always, it’s a really good month to be an Xbox Game Pass subscriber.

Microsoft today hosted a special Gamescom episode of Inside Xbox, which featured world premiere footage of Gears of War 5‘s insane new Horde mode additions, a brand new trailer for Bloober Team’s upcoming Blair Witch, new footage (and a very close release date) for the Two Colonels DLC for Metro: Exodus, and so, so much more.

Of course, the company also had some new and exciting announcements for Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC, nearly all of which remind me that I should probably just never buy a video game ever again.

Here’s what’s coming for the service, and when:

Devil May Cry 5 — Console — August 19th

Stellaris — Console + PC – August 19th (PC coming soon)

Ape Out — Console + PC — August 22nd

Kingdom Come: Deliverance — Console + PC — August 22nd

Bard’s Tale IV: Director’s Cut — Console + PC — August 27th

Blair Witch — Console + PC — August 30th

That’s a lot of content. I’m so excited for more folks to discover Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and I’m even more excited to get my hands on Blair Witch!

The company also detailed some September news, like the fact that Gears 5 is getting some Halo: Reach DLC, which is included with the Ultimate Edition of the game that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers gain access to. The phenomenal-looking Dead Cells will also hit the service on September 5th.

Naturally, as the host of the Xbox Game Passengers podcast, all of these announcements are totally amazing. If you want to hear a guest and I review a randomly-selected Xbox Game Pass game every other week, here’s where you can tune in:
