Published on 02:44 PM, Friday, August 1, 2025 by miladmim
Microsoft has kicked off August 2025 with a fresh update for Xbox Game Pass, adding the critically acclaimed Farming Simulator 25 to its library. Starting today, subscribers on both Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms can dive into the latest installment of the beloved farming franchise as part of their active membership—without any extra cost.
Each month, Xbox Game Pass refreshes its game catalog, mixing a variety of newly launched titles with classic favorites. While Microsoft hasn't unveiled the full list of new additions for August just yet, several confirmed releases have already stirred up excitement among the community. Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition is set to arrive on August 12, followed by Herdling on August 21. But perhaps the most highly anticipated addition will be Gears of War: Reloaded, launching on August 26.
For now, Farming Simulator 25 is leading the charge, giving players the chance to experience its detailed farming mechanics, expansive open-world environments, and intricate vehicle management systems. With overwhelmingly positive reviews since its release, the game is considered one of the best simulation titles on the market today.
A key point for subscribers is that Farming Simulator 25 isn’t limited to the Ultimate tier of Game Pass. Unlike some recent additions that were exclusive to Ultimate subscribers, this game is accessible to members across PC Game Pass, Standard Game Pass, and Ultimate Game Pass tiers. However, users subscribed to Game Pass Core—Microsoft's successor to Xbox Live Gold—won’t have access to this new addition, as Core remains a separate plan with a smaller rotating game selection.
As we progress further into August, Xbox is expected to announce even more titles joining the service, keeping up with their tradition of surprise drops. With a mix of indie gems and blockbuster franchises like Gears of War in the pipeline, August 2025 is shaping up to be a strong month for Game Pass users.
