Immortals Fenyx Rising, More Come to Xbox Game Pass in August

Microsoft has just revealed the second wave of new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in August 2022. The headliner is Ubisoft’s Immortals Fenyx Rising, which will join Ghost Recon Wildlands and Far Cry 5 in the library on August 30.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is a brand new IP from Ubisoft that was released back in December 2020, and its open-world gameplay takes some inspiration from Nintendo’s critically-acclaimed Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game was released on Xbox and other platforms right after Ubisoft’s blockbuster Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion, and Xbox Game Pass will surely help it to reach a wider audience.
