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:TodayRain World (Cloud, Console and PC) — Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass StandardAugust 6Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (Xbox Series X/S) — Game Pass Standard, already on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game PassLonely Mountains: Snow Riders (Xbox Series X/S) — Game Pass Standard, already on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game PassMechWarrior 5: Clans (Xbox Series X/S) — Game Pass Standard, already on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game PassOrcs Must Die!

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.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/xbox/xbox-game-pass-additions-for-august-include-assassins-creed-mirage-144428943.html?src=rss

Get ready, Apple has an ‘amazing’ pipeline of products on the way

Get ready, Apple has an ‘amazing’ pipeline of products on the way

MacworldApple CEO Tim Cook rallied the troops at an unusual hour-long company meeting at the end of last week, talking up what he described as as “amazing” pipeline of products on the way.Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported on the all-hands gathering in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, citing the testimony of “people aware of the meeting.” The meeting came in the wake of last week’s record-breaking financial results and focused largely on AI, which Cook told staff was a tech revolution “as big or bigger” than the internet, smartphones, cloud computing and apps.“Apple must do this,” Cook said. “Apple will do this. This is ours to grab. We will make the investment to do it.” And he justified that by noting that Apple hired 12,000 workers in the past year, with 40 percent of them in research and development roles.Despite the CEO’s optimistic words, AI has been a difficult market for Apple to break into so far. It arrived later than almost all of its rivals, who had established AI products in the field long before Apple Intelligence. And even when the latter finally shipped, it was widely viewed as a disappointment.But that’s all about to change–or so Cook would like his employees to believe, pointing out that lateness hasn’t historically been a barrier to success for the Cupertino company.“We’ve rarely been first,” he said. “There was a PC before the Mac. There was a smartphone before the iPhone. There were many tablets before the iPad. There was an MP3 player before the iPod.” Despite failing to reach these markets first, Cook said, Apple is widely credited with creating the “modern” version of each. “This is how I feel about AI,” he added.Readers may find Cook’s words about AI less than wholly convincing, because none of those historical successes were as delayed or as initially disappointing as Apple Intelligence. But the company’s wider product portfolio may look more promising.“The product pipeline, which I can’t talk about: It’s amazing, guys. It’s amazing,” Cook said. “Some of it you’ll see soon, some of it will come later, but there’s a lot to see.“I have never felt so much excitement and so much energy before as right now,” he exclaimed.We’ll get to see the first of those products at the iPhone 17 even in September, when Apple is expected to unveil the all-new iPhone 17 Air.
