It’s the middle of the month, and therefore time for another shuffling of the PC Game Pass library. This time, Microsoft has announced that there will be eight games being added, with another eight making their way out. All incoming games will be added by 30 August, and all outgoing games will be leaving on 31 August.
First on this list to be available – and in fact is already available – is Coffee Talk. Dubbed a “talking simulator” and probably akin to a visual novel to some degree, you play a barista doing stereotypical bartender things like listening to the troubles of your talkative customers, and serving appropriate drinks to them while you’re at it. It’s an indie darling, though its creator passed earlier this year.
Coming a little later on 23 August – because that is its launch day – is Midnight Fight Express. An isometric beat ’em up with an interesting premise, the game is all about wild and wacky action and you beat, slash and shoot your way through hordes of enemies with your own customisable character.
PC Game Pass then welcomes Exapunks and Opus: Echo of Starsong – Full Bloom Edition on 25 August. The former is described as an open-ended puzzle game with one of the more accurate depictions of real-life hacking. As for the latter, the definitive edition of the original visual novel-style adventure game now features voice-acting for an even better experience.
30 August is when the bulk of this batch’s games will drop. On this day, PC Game Pass gets Commandos 3, Immortality, Tinykin and Immortals Fenyx Rising.
Then on 31 August, Hades, Myst, Signs of the Sojourner, Spiritfarer, Twelve Minutes, Two Point Hospital, What Remains of Edith Finch and World War Z will be leaving the PC Game Pass library. If you’re currently going through any of them, best hurry up as you have about two weeks left to finish them.
