Xbox has officially revealed the second round of August 2026 additions to Game Pass and the new lineup includes an interesting mix of genres.
Xbox Game Pass August Wave 2 Adds Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and More
The second wave of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in August is a pretty large one, but the highlight for many gamers is likely going to be Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.
This latest installment in the Plague Tale Franchise appears to be a fresh spin on the world that will play quite differently from the previous games.
“Follow Sophia’s journey to the Minotaur’s Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.”
The title is an Xbox Game Pass day one feature, so it will be very interesting to see if it helps draw players into the ecosystem to continue exploring this world after 2022’s A Plague Tale: Requiem.
