Xbox Games Pass August 2021 Our Picks:

Here’s our top picks. Our top picks are a prediction of the games that we think (and would like to see) may just make it to to the Games Pass in March 2021.

  • Soul Calibur
  • Dying Light

Soul Calibur VI

Xbox Games Pass August 2021 - Our top picks include soul calibur!
Xbox Games Pass August 2021 – Our top picks include soul calibur!

I’d love to see a return of Soul Calibur to Games Pass in August.

SOULCALIBUR VI represents the latest entry in the premier weapons-based, head-to-head fighting series and continues the epic struggle of warriors searching for the legendary Soul Swords. Taking place in the 16th century, revisit the events of the original SOULCALIBUR to uncover hidden truths.

Check out Soul Calibur VI here.

Dying Light

Dying Light is a first-person, action survival horror game set in a vast and dangerous open world. During the day, players traverse an expansive urban environment overrun by a vicious outbreak, scavenging the world for supplies and crafting weapons to defend against the growing infected population. At night, the hunter becomes the hunted, as the infected become aggressive and more dangerous.

Most frightening are the predators which only appear after sundown. Players must use everything in their power to survive until the morning’s first light.

State of Decay 2 + Heartland

Xbox Game Pass August 2021
Xbox Game Pass August 2021

I’ve said this before on the blog. But, It’s about time for another Zombie game on game pass. We’ve seen a fair few Zombie games on game pass in the past:

  • World War Z
  • Dead Rising 4
  • Metal Gear Survive (meeeh)
  • Resident Evil 4
  • Resident Evil Revelations
  • State of Decay 2 + Heartland
  • Tell Tale Walking Dead

But, I’d really love to see State of Decay return to game pass.

The next installment in the critically acclaimed “State of Decay” franchise immerses you in an all-new, multiplayer zombie survival fantasy. Build a lasting community, working with other players or solo to overcome challenges while exploring your own unique story in a world that remembers the choices you make.
