In total, 21 games were added in August including Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Farming Simulator 25 and the surprise release of the remastered Heretic + Hexen while both Gears Of War: Reloaded and Dragon Age: The Veilguard were added last week. A handful of games were also removed from the servicing including Borderlands 3.
