August 2025 offers an impressive lineup for Game Pass subscribers, highlighted by the arrival of Assassin's Creed Mirage. This title marks a return to classic stealth gameplay, eschewing excess RPG elements found in recent installments. Additionally, the month features several notable games like MechWarrior 5: Clans, which is praised for its storytelling and mech customization. Other strong titles include Citizen Sleeper 2 and Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, both recognized as potential Game of the Year candidates, enriching the experience for Game Pass Standard subscribers. Gears of War: Reloaded is set to bolster the service's appeal later in the month.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is a decent return to more old-school stealthing with a bit less of the modern-day RPG bloat that's come to define the recent open-world entries in the series.
MechWarrior 5: Clans is one of 2024's more overlooked gems, nailing the in-universe mood and storytelling and backing it up with solid action and mech customization.
Citizen Sleeper 2 and Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, both out earlier this year, are strong GOTY runnerups.
The arrival of Gears of War: Reloaded later in the month should help enhance the overall appeal of Game Pass.
