Xbox Game Pass subscribers have even more day-one games to look forward to later this year, including heavy hitters like Avowed, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, the Indiana Jones game MachineGames, and more. New day one's games are confirmed for Xbox Game Pass on a regular basis, with Creatures of Ava the latest to lock down a release date.
Xbox Game Pass Adds 2023 Open-World RPG With 'Very Positive' Reviews
The ninth title to reach Xbox Game Pass in June 2024 is a popular 2023 open-world RPG with nearly 20,000 'Very Positive' player reviews.
In a new release date reveal trailer, Creatures of Ava has confirmed its Xbox Game Pass debut for August 7. For those unfamiliar with the game, Creatures of Ava is like Pokemon but with a twist. Instead of capturing creatures for battle, Creatures of Ava has players save creatures. The game is set on a strange planet struck by a "mystical infection," and it's the player's goal to explore it, save as many creatures as possible, and get to the bottom of things.
Creatures of Ava Release Date
- August 7
What's been shown of Creatures of Ava so far has looked adorable, despite the somewhat grim outlook for its setting. The latest trailer shows off some of the creatures that players will encounter on their adventure, including a mole-like critter that burrows underground, flying things that sound like mosquitoes, and small pink beasts that look like miniature rhinos. It will be exciting to see all the creatures that Creatures of Ava has to offer, and Xbox Game Pass subscribers will get to find out when the game launches on August 7.
Creatures of Ava is the third day-one game confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in August 2024 so far. Just one day after its August 7 launch, SteamWorld Heist 2 will hit Game Pass. Sopa is another game coming to Game Pass in August 2024, though it is currently without a release date. The rest of the August 2024 Xbox Game Pass offerings will likely be detailed once the month itself actually rolls around, so subscribers should stay tuned for more information on what's in store.
