Game Pass August 2020 – We’d Like To See

Whilst we wait for the full announcement of the Game Pass games for August 2020 make sure you’ve got a great deal on your membership by checking out these special offer prices over on Amazon.

Here’s a few games we’re itching to see come to game pass in August 2020:

Greedfall

Engage in a core role playing experience, and forge the destiny of a new world seeping with magic, and filled with riches, lost secrets, and fantastic creatures. With diplomacy, deception and force, become part of a living, evolving world – influence its course and shape your story.

The game is set in 17th century-styled fantasy setting and we would love this game to come to game pass.

Check out Greedfall here.

Code Vein

Code Vein is an action role-playing game developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows on September 27, 2019.

The base game is fantastic and well worth the money if you were to buy it outright. So it’d make a brilliant addition to the list of game pass games.

The story is interesting and the character development is one of the most in depth we have ever seem in a game. The DLC however is a waste of money, adds very little for the price and was in all honesty a bit of a let down.

Check out Code Vein here.

Forza Horizon 2

Forza Horizon 2 is a 2014 racing video game developed for Microsoft’s Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles. It is the sequel to 2012’s Forza Horizon and the seventh instalment in the Forza series.

Horizon 2 has that definitive “Horizon” vibe. Every time you hope into and drive a Ferrari 458 down from Nice to Castelleto it feels as if you are actually there driving on vacation. It’s a really great game.

Check out Forza Horizon 2 here.

As more games are announced and become available we’ll update this article.
