The First Wave of Game Pass Titles for August Is Here - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and More

The latest wave of Game Pass titles was announced earlier in the week. Pretty small one, with 4 titles (or 6, depending on how you count) coming to the service, with one being a Day 1 release and the others being older (but still hight quality) games. Let's see what's coming!

If you're a current subscriber, you might want to know about the price changes and restructuring that will take place starting in September.

Quotes (in italic) taken from the article linked above. Pay attention to the platforms for each game (Cloud, Console, and PC), as some titles won't be available for all of them. Some of the games in the above article may have been covered in the previous wave. Games that are part of EA Play are only available to PC and Ultimate subscribers. Games marked as Game Preview are still in active development and this isn't the final version.
