Xbox new wave of leaked free games has something for all of us

The past mistakes of Xbox might soon be forgotten thanks to this leak of the service's upcoming free games.

It’s been a weird couple of weeks for Microsoft.

From mass outages that have infuriated fans, to surprise reveals of gorgeous new hardware we immediately want to buy, a lot has happened.

We can't wait for Star Wars Outlaws to release. Curious about the game? Then you should watch our preview!

Now a partial leak of Xbox’s free games for August has appeared online; as if Microsoft wasn’t already having a mixed bag of a week!

Still, while it’s not great news for the company, we’re more than happy to plan ahead to ensure we can accommodate these experiences.

User mike_ross_90 shared the details on Reddit, referencing their YouTube source in the original post.

According to the leak, these are the titles we can look forward to playing via Xbox Game Pass:

• Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato
• Creatures of Ava
• Crash N Sane Trilogy
• Mafia: Definitive Edition
• Wargrove 2
• Atlas Fallen
• Core Keeper

This first wave of free games will slowly become available across the month of August.

Seeing as we've been burnt before, we understand your cynicism over whether this leak is genuine or not.

For those in doubt about how accurate this leak is, evidence has been found online that supports the claim.

And it comes from Xbox Game Pass.

Mafia: Definitive Edition has been announced on the official Twitter account, and it’ll be dropping on 13 August, as the Reddit post outlines.

We’d still suggest approaching all leaks with a hint of caution, however, this one seems pretty legitimate from what we’ve seen thus far.

There’s not exactly a long time to wait before we find out if the OP is accurate across the board.

We hope they are, though, as this is a stellar first wave of free games.
