Here's your next batch of Xbox and PC Game Pass games for August
Microsoft has announced the latest additions to the Xbox and PC Game Pass library for August, featuring the day-one release of 'Resonance: A Plague Tale' and 'Blood Dungeon'. The update also notes the departure of 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' from the service.
Why it matters
Subscription-based gaming services are significantly shifting how consumers access and interact with digital entertainment media.
The undoubted focal point is the day-one addition of Asobo's new Plague Tale game, Resonance: A Plague Tale, which spins a prequel tale - across dual timelines - on the island of Crete.
I've played Resonance: A Plague Tale and was enthusiastic about it . The series has ditched stealth gameplay and gone all-in on combat to great effect. Combine handsome set-pieces, tricky puzzles and incredible ruins, and you've got an appealing Tomb Raider and Uncharted-like adventure.
