Xbox disappoints players for the third time with Game Pass offerings but Call of Duty could save the day

FOR the third time since Xbox announced major changes to Xbox Game Pass, players are disappointed by the number of games added to the service.
Xbox Game Pass’ price increased across all tiers in July, with Xbox Game Pass for Console being replaced by the more expensive Xbox Game Pass Standard.
While Xbox Game Pass Standard players will only receive four games this month, there is a major benefit for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
Ultimate subscribers will be able to gain access to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta, which will let them play months before the game’s full release.
The beta only includes the multiplayer modes, but it will give people a chance to try it out without pre-ordering.
Here’s the full list of games added to Xbox Game Pass in August and early September:
Out now
Creatures of Ava – (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S & PC) *Ultimate & PC only
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta – (Xbox Series X|S & PC) *Ultimate & PC only
September 3
Star Trucker – (Cloud, console & PC) *Ultimate & PC only
There is a silver lining, but only for members of Xbox Game Pass Core: the cheapest tier of subscription which also received the smallest price increase.
Three more games will be added to the limited Xbox Game Pass core library shortly, and they are all pretty popular.
Cities: Skylines is known as one of the best city building simulators around, and Control is a fantastic action-adventure game from Remedy.
Here’s the list of games coming to Xbox Game Pass Core and their release date:
August 21
Cities: Skylines
Control: Ultimate Edition
SnowRunner
