XBOX has just announced six new free games releasing in August.

This month is an amazing lineup, including a number of critically acclaimed games.

All of these games are available for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, even those who subscribe at the cheaper Xbox Game Pass for Console tier.

Challenging 2D platformer Celeste was announced last month, but has launched on the service in August.

This is one of the highlights this month, as it won a number of awards when it was released in 2018.

A new game announced for the platform is A Short Hike, a cosy adventure about a bird getting to know the others on the island.

It is also rated 10/10 on Steam, with 12k reviews leaving it at Overwhelmingly Positive.

Both of these are out now and available for subscribers to pick up right away.

Broforce Forever is a day one release, and the sequel to the popular side-scrolling run ‘n’ gun.

Limbo is another indie classic, though it is a little older than the others, as it was released in 2011.

It’s a 2D platformer, with a dark theme and horror elements.

This month’s additions are rounded off with Airborne Kingdom, a city-building sim, and day-one release Everspace 2.

Unlike the original Everspace, which was a roguelike, this is a space-based RPG.

Here is the schedule for all the games coming to Xbox Game Pass this month.
