Ready for a big week on XGP?
- by Ben Kerry

Welcome to your latest Xbox Game Pass roundup! Today, we’re gathering up this week’s upcoming Game Pass arrivals – with the end of August 2025 delivering two absolutely massive titles into the library, including a new first-party release from Microsoft.
Without further ado, here’s your pair of Xbox Game Pass additions for this week (August 26-28):
Gears of War: Reloaded (Series X|S, PC, Cloud) – August 26
“Gears of War: Reloaded is a celebration of one of gaming’s most iconic franchises—rebuilt with 4K resolution, up to120 FPS support, and fully modernized multiplayer. Featuring cross-play and cross-progression across platforms, this is the definitive way to experience the game that started it all.”
Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Series X|S, PC, Cloud) – August 28
“For good or ill, the fate of Thedas will be decided soon. Ancient tyrants wielding the might of gods have escaped their prison, and that is only the beginning. Demons, darkspawn, blighted dragons, and perilous choices lie ahead. Unite the Veilguard and defy the gods.”
Which of these will you be playing? Vote in the poll down below and chat to us about this on XGP in the comments!
