One of the main reasons to sign up for Xbox Game Pass is to play its day one games. While Xbox Game Pass has an impressive library of older titles, one really gets their money's worth with the service by playing its brand-new, day one releases. It's cause for celebration whenever a new day one game is added to the Xbox Game Pass lineup, with a new day one game available to play as of Tuesday, August 9.
From today on, Xbox Game Pass subscribers are free to play Two Point Campus as much as they'd like across Xbox consoles, the cloud, and PC. Two Point Campus, for the uninitiated, is a business simulation game where players construct and manage their own college campus. Two Point Campus has earned mostly positive reviews, so Xbox Game Pass subscribers should definitely consider giving it a look.
Two Point Campus is technically the second game in the Two Point simulation series. Its predecessor, Two Point Hospital, offers similar gameplay, except it's about managing a hospital instead of a university. As luck what would have it, Two Point Hospital is also readily available to play through Xbox Game Pass, so anyone interested can play both games in the series without paying anything beyond their Game Pass subscription fee.

Two Point Campus is the only new Xbox Game Pass game for August 9, but there are more new game Pass titles to look forward to later in the week. On August 11, three more games will be added to Game Pass, with Cooking Simulator joining the lineup on cloud, consoles, and PC. It will be joined by two PC Game Pass-only games on that day in the form of Expeditions: Rome and Offworld Trading Company.
And while Microsoft has yet to fully unveil all the new Xbox Game Pass games coming in the second half of August 2022, previous announcements have clued subscribers in on what to expect. On August 23, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to the addition of day one game Midnight Fight Express, while Sam Barlow's Immortality is joining the lineup on August 30. There will be many more new games added to Xbox Game Pass in the second half of August 2022, though fans will have to wait a bit to find out exactly what they are. The most likely scenario is that Microsoft will announce the rest of the new Xbox Game Pass games for August 2022 at some point early next week.
