Every month, Microsoft adds new games to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

It’s worth noting that Astria Ascending is being developed by the French studio Artisan, which has teams in both Paris and Quebec City, alongside veteran Japanese developers like Kazushige Nojima (co-writer of Final Fantasy VII) and Hitoshi Sakimoto (composer of Final Fantasy XII).

Meanwhile, the following 11 games now have Touch Controls on mobile:

  • Halo Wars: Definitive Edition
  • Halo Wars 2
  • Last Stop
  • Omno

You’ll also want to keep in mind that the following games are leaving the service on September 30th:

  • Ikenfell (Cloud, Console and PC)
  • Night in the Woods (Cloud, Console and PC)
  • Kathy Rain (PC)
  • Warhammer Vermintide II (Cloud and Console)

As always, you can buy any Game Pass title with a member-exclusive 20 percent discount to keep playing even after it leaves the catalogue.

Finally, Xbox has also teased that Phoenix Point will be coming to Game Pass for Console on October 1st.

Xbox Game Pass is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Android and iOS in beta. Game Pass for Console and Game Pass for PC each cost $11.99 CAD/month.

Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $16.99/month and is required for streaming (which Xbox refers to as ‘Cloud’). On top of that, this tier includes Game Pass for both Console and PC, as well as an Xbox Live Gold subscription and access to EA Play.
