New Games Coming to Xbox Game Pass Standard

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders
MechWarrior 5: Clans
Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, MechWarrior 5: Clans, and Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap are all being added to Xbox Game Pass Standard on August 6. Fans of the dice-driven gameplay of Disco Elysium and the sci-fi backdrop of Cyberpunk 2077 have to try Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, which was at one point the best-reviewed new game of 2025. If exhilarating-yet-challenging racing games sound like a good time, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders has enough downhill mountain trails for solo riders or groups of up to eight players.

For those looking for more action-packed adventures, both MechWarrior 5: Clans and Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap provide different takes on large-scale battles. Fans of Gundam or Armored Core who aren't already familiar with the series should take the opportunity to jump in with the standalone MechWarrior campaign MechWarrior 5: Clans, an immersive combat sim that puts players in the cockpit of a powerful Smoke Jaguar mech. On the other hand, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap provides a fun twist on the tower defense genre, with rogue-lite elements, powerful traps, and a solid third-person shooter experience that supports up to four players.

Although players will undoubtedly have their hands full with these four new games, it might be a good idea to keep tabs on which games won't be available much longer. For example, Persona 3 Reload is leaving Xbox Game Pass on August 15. Persona 3 Reload is one of the highest rated games on Xbox Game Pass, and considering the game's lengthy completion time, subscribers may want to tackle the remake before they miss their chance.
