Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Gears of War: Reloaded, Persona 4 Golden and More Coming to Xbox Game Pass in August

Xbox has revealed the next wave of titles joining Xbox Game Pass for the second half of August 2025, headlined by some major names including Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Gears of War: Reloaded, and Persona 4 Golden.

The month already kicked off strong with Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Citizen Sleeper 2, alongside the surprise Heretic + Hexen shadow-drop. With today’s announcement, Xbox is rounding out August with a well-balanced mix of AAA blockbusters, cult classics, and quirky indie titles.

Among the highlights:

• Dragon Age: The Veilguard arrives on August 28, giving BioWare fans day-one access to the highly anticipated RPG through Game Pass.

• Gears of War: Reloaded drops on August 26, the fully remastered return of Xbox’s iconic shooter franchise, now with cross-platform play.

• Persona 4 Golden joins on August 20, bringing Atlus’ legendary JRPG to consoles and PC Game Pass with cloud support.

• Indie fans can look forward to Void/Breaker, a stylish roguelite FPS, and Herdling, a charming creature-herding adventure.

Here’s the full schedule of releases for the rest of August 2025:

• Blacksmith Master – Aug. 19 | PC

• Void/Breaker – Aug. 19 | PC

• Goat Simulator Remastered – Aug. 20 | PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Cloud

• Persona 4 Golden – Aug. 20 | PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Cloud

• Herdling – Aug. 21 | PC, Xbox Series X/S, Cloud

• Gears of War: Reloaded – Aug. 26 | PC, Xbox Series X/S, Cloud

• Dragon Age: The Veilguard – Aug. 28 | PC, Xbox Series X/S, Cloud

As usual, some titles will also be leaving the service at the end of the month. On August 31, the following five games will rotate out of Game Pass:

• Ben 10 Power Trip

• Borderlands 3

• Paw Patrol Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay

• Sea of Stars

• This War of Mine: Final Cut

Even with those departures, August stands as one of the strongest months for Xbox Game Pass in recent memory. And with Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 and the rest of the week’s announcements still ahead, there’s potential for even more surprises before the month closes.

 
Which of these Xbox Game Pass August additions are you most excited to dive into first? Will it be the epic return of Dragon Age, the nostalgia of Gears, or the timeless Persona 4 Golden?
