Microsoft has confirmed the Game Pass lineup from today, August 15 up to the launch of Starfield on September 6.

Available today is Everspace 2 on Xbox Series X and S and via cloud gaming. Everspace 2 is a fast-paced single-player space shooter from Rockfish Games, that returned a 7/10 in IGN’s review. “Everspace 2 is the looter-shooter for space jockeys and wannabe pilots, packed with cool ship classes and action-driven arcade dogfights to keep up the pace," we said.

Next up is Firewatch, available on console, PC, and cloud from August 17. Firewatch is a much-loved single-player, first-person mystery from Campo Santo, which we gave a 9/10 in our review: “Firewatch is among the best of the ‘walking simulators’ thanks to stellar writing, art direction, and voice acting.”

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre hits Game Pass across console, PC, and cloud on August 18. This third-person asymmetrical horror based on the iconic 1974 film is a day-one Game Pass release from developer Sumo Digital and Friday the 13th: The Game publisher Gun Interactive. It got 6/10 in IGN’s review: “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's less asymmetrical take on the asymmetrical horror genre offers a few entertaining, technically challenged hours of fun.”

Also day-one on Game Pass is Sea of Stars, which launches on the subscription service across console, PC, and cloud on August 29. This turn-based role-playing game is from Sabotage Studio. The following week, Nomada Studio’s Gris launches on Game Pass on console, PC, and cloud on September 5. IGN’s Gris review returned a 6/10: “Gris’s beautiful exterior hides a simple, at times confusing, platformer.”

And then it’s the big one: Bethesda’s Starfield, which launches day-one on Game Pass on September 6. As already
