Starting today, August 6, Xbox Game Pass Standard members gain access to four exciting new titles: Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, MechWarrior 5: Clans, and Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap. This diverse lineup offers something for every type of gamer, from narrative-driven RPGs to intense mech combat simulations. While some games will be leaving the service this month, these fresh additions more than make up for any departures.

The Xbox Game Pass library continues to impress with its ever-growing selection of titles. August 2025 brings an especially strong lineup, ranging from massive AAA experiences to beloved indie gems. These four new additions further enhance the service's value, offering unique gaming experiences that cater to different playstyles and preferences.

New Additions to Xbox Game Pass Standard

• Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (Narrative RPG)
• Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders (Extreme Sports)
• MechWarrior 5: Clans (Mech Combat Simulator)
• Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap (Tower Defense/Action)

Each of these games brings something special to the table. Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector builds on its predecessor's success with deep narrative choices and a captivating cyberpunk world. Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders offers adrenaline-pumping downhill racing with realistic physics and stunning mountain environments.

For action fans, MechWarrior 5: Clans delivers intense mech combat with deep customization options, while Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap combines tower defense strategy with third-person action in a chaotic, fun package. These titles represent some of the best of their respective genres, making this one of the strongest months for Xbox Game Pass additions in recent memory.

While exploring these new games, subscribers should also note that some titles will be leaving the service soon. Notably, Persona 3 Reload departs on August 15, giving players limited time to experience this critically acclaimed JRPG remake. The constant rotation of games ensures the library stays fresh, but it's always worth checking the 'Leaving Soon' section to avoid missing out on favorites.
