Play Assassin's Creed, Aliens and More on Xbox Game Pass Soon
The Assassin's Creed franchise is one of the biggest series in gaming today. Ubisoft, the series' publisher, said in 2023 that it has sold over 155 million copies of Assassin's Creed games, making it one of the bestselling franchises in history. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can play one of the most recent entries in the series, Assassin's Creed: Mirage, on Aug. 7. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a CNET Editors' Choice award pick, offers hundreds of games you can play on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PC or mobile device for $20 a month. A subscription gives you access to a large library of games, with new ones, like Doom: The Dark Ages, added monthly, plus other benefits such as online multiplayer and deals on non-Game Pass titles. Here are the games Microsoft is bringing to Game Pass in August. You can also check out other games the company added to the service in July, like early access to Grounded 2. Rain World Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard subscribers can play now. In this survival platformer, you're a slugcat -- both adorable and dangerous -- in a broken ecosystem that's filled with overgrown plants and industrial waste. You have to survive in this world with nothing but your wits and trusty spear. But there are larger enemies out there who think you look like their next meal, so watch your step. Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector New to Game Pass Standard on Aug. 6. Game Pass Standard subscribers can now join the fun of Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, a few months after Microsoft brought this title to Game Pass Ultimate. This sequel to one of 2022's most popular RPGs launches on Game Pass on Day 1. You play as a sleeper, an emulated human mind in an artificial body, as you try to outrun the corporation that made you and the gang that wants to control you. You'll commandeer a ship, recruit a crew and take on contracts as you try to build a better future for yourself in this dice-driven sci-fi game. Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders New to Game Pass Standard on Aug. 6. Get ready to fall down over and over again as you learn to master the snowy terrain in Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders. This is the sequel to Lonely Mountains: Downhill, but up to eight players can join cross-platform multiplayer matches, so you and your block-headed friends can enjoy the fresh powder together. That doesn't sound lonely at all. MechWarrior 5: Clans New to Game Pass Standard on Aug. 6. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers could play MechWarrior 5: Clans in November, and Game Pass Standard subscribers can play it soon, too. Step into a towering mech and fight your way across the galaxy in the latest installment of the MechWarrior series. Your territory is being invaded in this game, and you lead a squad of five other mech pilots to turn the invasion back. This isn't a run-and-gun game, though. You'll have to coordinate your moves with other units to create the perfect opportunities to attack. Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap New to Game Pass Standard on Aug. 6. The orcs are back in the latest entry in this tower-defense series, but your goal remains the same: kill every last one of them. Each hero in this game has their own unique play style, so pick the one that's most fun for you. And team up with others in four-player co-op to obliterate the chaotic, cartoonish hordes. Microsoft brought this title to Game Pass Ultimate subscribers in February, and Game Pass Standard subscribers can get in on all the orc-smashing fun soon, too. Assassin's Creed Mirage Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers can play on Aug. 7. Travel back in time to 9th-century Baghdad in this 2023 installment of the popular Assassin's Creed franchise. You play as Basim, a cunning street thief who joins an ancient organization called the Hidden Ones. Through this organization, you'll become a deadly master assassin and change the course of the world. Aliens: Fireteam Elite Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard subscribers can play on Aug. 12. Microsoft is bringing this game back to Game Pass after removing it from the service in December 2022. In this survival shooter, you join an elite team of hardened marines as they fight through hordes of xenomorphs from the Alien franchise. You can customize your character and gear as you take on the ever-evolving threat and try to stop it from spreading. 9 Kings (game preview) Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers can play on Aug. 14. This game takes kingdom builders, deck builders and roguelikes and smashes them together to make something new. You'll build your kingdom from a humble village to a huge citadel, but you'll also have to defend your realm from other rulers. You can use knights, warlocks, sentient mushrooms and more in huge battles to fend off others. And you can loot your enemy's deck to grow your empire and become the King of Kings. These games are leaving Game Pass on Aug. 15 While Microsoft is adding those games to Game Pass soon, the company is also removing a few others from the service on Aug. 15. So you still have some time to finish any campaigns or sidequests before you have to buy these games separately.

Xbox Game Pass additions for August include Assassin's Creed Mirage
Microsoft has revealed the first batch of Xbox Game Pass additions for August, and there are several tasty options in store over the next couple of weeks. The first one lands today on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Standard in the form of Rain World , a difficult survival platform game. In case that's not your tempo, though, you won't have to wait long for other things to play. On August 7, Assassin's Creed Mirage will hit Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. I enjoyed this tighter, more focused take on the Assassin's Creed formula quite a bit , especially considering how bloated these games have become in recent years (that said, AC Shadows is one of my favorite games of this year so far). Mirage is worth checking out if you dig the series but haven't taken a leap of faith with that installment yet. Several titles are joining the Game Pass Standard tier in the first two weeks of August, including Citizen Sleeper 2 — an acclaimed RPG that debuted earlier this year — on Wednesday. Survival shooter Aliens: Fireteam Elite returns to Game Pass on August 12 as well, while roguelike kingdom builder 9 Kings arrives in game preview on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, but only for PC for the time being. Here's the full breakdown of the first wave of August Game Pass additions, including the tiers on which they'll be available: Rain World (Cloud, Console and PC) — Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (Xbox Series X/S) — Game Pass Standard, already on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders (Xbox Series X/S) — Game Pass Standard, already on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass MechWarrior 5: Clans (Xbox Series X/S) — Game Pass Standard, already on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap (Xbox Series X/S) — Game Pass Standard, already on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass Assassin's Creed Mirage (Cloud, Console and PC) — Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass EA Sports Madden NFL 26 : 10-hour early access trial (Cloud, Console and PC) — Game Pass Ultimate Aliens: Fireteam Elite (Cloud, Console and PC) — Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard 9 Kings (Game Preview) (PC) — Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass Along with the new additions, there are three titles leaving Game Pass on August 15. Those are Anthem (Console and PC) via EA Play, Farming Simulator 22 (Cloud, Console and PC) and Persona 3 Reload (Cloud, Console and PC). The beleaguered Anthem is shutting down for good this January in any case, and as it's an online-only game, there won't be any way to play it after that time — unless fans find a way to get community servers up and running.

Jeffrey Epstein's NYC den of depravity: Hidden cameras, a first edition ‘Lolita,' and a curious $1 bill signed by Bill Gates
Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan den of depravity had surveillance cameras set up in bedrooms, a first edition copy of 'Lolita' on display — and an eyebrow-raising $1 bill signed with a cheeky note from Bill Gates. The previously unreported images, published by the New York Times on Tuesday, were taken inside the sex pest's seven-story Upper East Side townhouse in the years before his arrest and subsequent suicide in late 2019. Among the more bizarre elements found inside the 21,000-square-foot lair, which is where the pedophile entertained the rich and powerful, was a framed $1 bill signed by the Microsoft co-founder. Newly released photos published by the New York Times show disturbing details of Jeffrey Epstein's den of depravity. Christopher Sadowski Advertisement 'I was wrong!' Gates appeared to have scrawled on the note, which was on display in a living room. A sculpture of a woman in a bridal gown dangling from a rope and dozens of framed fake eyeballs were also on display in the entryway, according to the outlet. A copy of 'Lolita' — the 1955 novel where a deviant repeatedly rapes a 12-year-old girl that he has become obsessed with — was also spotted in an office. Advertisement Meanwhile, multiple surveillance cameras were dotted around the property — including in multiple bedrooms. The sprawling townhouse was filled, too, with framed photos of some of the world's most prominent names — including Saudi Arabia's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, future President Trump, former President Bill Clinton and even the late Pope John Paul II. Billionaires Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Elon Musk also made an appearance. A massage table inside Jeffrey Epstein's UES New York City home. SDNY Advertisement Photos taken inside the townhouse have trickled out over the years as part of the troves of evidence unveiled when Epstein was arrested in 2019 on child sex trafficking charges. Previously released images included the sick massage rooms set up in the house of horrors where Epstein would sexually abuse some of his victims. Creepy taxidermy animals, as well as a bizarre painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress, were also seen inside the home.
