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.

THE POWER RANGERS Just Made Their Live-Action Comeback... in a FORTNITE Ad?! — GeekTyrant

The Power Rangers franchise has been pretty quiet lately. After the nostalgic punch of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always and the finale of Cosmic Fury , the future of the Rangers felt like it was up in the air. With reboot rumors stalling, Hasbro auctioning off pieces of the franchise, and even AI-upscaled episodes floating around, fans have been waiting for signs of life from the legendary team. And now we've got one, though not in the way anyone expected. The first new live-action Power Rangers content in nearly two years has arrived... as a Fortnite commercial. Epic Games just revealed the next season of Fortnite , titled 'Shock 'N Awesome,' and it's set to drop August 7. The theme is a full-blown alien bug invasion straight out of Starship Troopers . But players won't be facing this threat alone, because the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are suiting up to join the battle. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Rangers make their entrance in a full-blown live-action trailer, teaming up with familiar Fortnite faces to blast giant alien bugs with miniguns and pyrotechnics, and it's set to a thumping remix of the iconic Mighty Morphin theme song. It's packed with '90s nostalgia. And while it's undeniably fun, it's also kind of wild that this is the first live-action Power Rangers anything we've seen since 2023. The full Power Rangers skin bundle, featuring all five core team members and themed accessories, including that remixed theme track, will be available in the Fortnite store later in August. As for Green Ranger fans, Tommy Oliver is set to appear in the season's battle pass. Then, from September 16, players who complete seasonal quests can unlock a Dino Megazord skin as part of a midseason event. The Power Rangers are officially back in action... in the most unexpected way possible. Live-action, laser-blasting, and now fully digital. Welcome to 2025.

Dominic Fike Trolled Sabrina Carpenter at Lollapalooza With ‘The Hate U Give' Clip

This year's Lollapalooza has come and gone, but Dominic Fike and Sabrina Carpenter are still a hot topic after they performed at the beloved Chicago-based music fest. Both artists took over the T-Mobile stage on Sunday, August 3, with the '3 Nights' musician scheduled right before Sabrina's headlining set. Ahead of her record-breaking performance, Dominic played a video of the multihyphenate from The Hate U Give. In the scene, her character, Hailey, makes a racially insensitive statement toward Amandla Stenberg's character, Starr. 'Starr, just pretend the ball is fried chicken,' she said in the clip, where tension heightened during a basketball game. In character, she walked back on her comment, saying, 'It's game talk.' Fans in the crowd erupted in cheers as soon as the 'Manchild' hitmaker's face came on screen, and following the quick clip came another video of Dominic. He jokingly said, 'I'm in the fucking game, bro, it's a game,' to clarify that he was running a bit. However, the comments section of a fan-posted video drew mixed reactions. 'Now she needs to play a clip from Euphoria lol,' one fan wrote, referring to his stint on the second season of the HBO series. Another added, 'Sabrina's fans crying in comments like it wasn't funny.' The Sabrina fans in question chimed in, saying, 'She's acting… in a movie... who does he think cares?' and 'Now why would he do this?' During The Hate U Give's theatrical release in 2018, Sabrina revealed what drew her to the project, which is based on Angie Thomas's novel of the same name. At the time, she told Hero magazine, 'I wanted to be a part of it in any way that I could, and I do know that it's such an important film for so many people.' As for her role as Hailey, Sabrina knew it would spark some controversy, adding, 'For my character specifically, the reason that this character exists – who is ignorant and doesn't recognise her privilege – she exists because there are people in the world like her. That's one of the reasons we really hope that people watch it.' During her interview for Cosmopolitan's 'The Breakdown' video series, Sabrina doubled down on that sentiment. 'I unfortunately played everyone's least favorite character,' she said, adding, 'It's one of the most incredible films I've ever gotten the chance to work on, so that was really special.' The artists—who each have songs titled 'Mona Lisa'—have yet to comment on the situation, if at all. After Dominic performed tracks like 'Babydoll' and debuted a new song, 'All Hands on Deck,' Sabrina closed out Lolla with an iconic headlining set featuring Chicago natives, Earth, Wind and Fire.
