Microsoft will be adding four new games to the Xbox Game Pass by mid-September. Age of Mythology: Retold and Train Sim World 5, both available on Microsoft's gaming subscription from day one, are likely to attract significant interest from many players.

Age of Mythology: Retold

Age of Mythology: Retold is a modernized remake of the popular real-time strategy game Age of Mythology from 2002. The remake stays true to the roots of the original and integrates the classic mythological pantheons of the Greeks, Egyptians, Norsemen and Atlanteans. Players take control of powerful deities, control mythical creatures and engage in epic battles in which they can draw on divine powers. The new edition offers improved graphics, a revised user interface and new features, such as an improved population limit that enables larger and more complex battles.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game

In this spin-off of the well-known MudRunner and SnowRunner series, players take on the leadership of scientific expeditions in unexplored terrain, such as the Arizona desert and the Carpathian Mountains. The aim is to carry out research missions by driving various all-terrain vehicles, using high-tech tools and efficiently managing your own team and camp. To be successful in different missions, vehicle customization plays a central role.

Riders Republic

Riders Republic is an open-world extreme sports game from Ubisoft that allows players to play in a huge, open multiplayer playground. There is a variety of sports to choose from - from mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding to wingsuit flying. The open world combines famous US national parks such as Bryce Canyon, Yosemite and Grand Teton into a single large map. The game offers various multiplayer modes, including Mass Races, in which over 50 players compete against each other at the same time. Players can also take part in PvP events, 6v6 team battles and trick competitions. The aim is to level up in career mode and gain new sponsors.

Train Sim World 5

Train Sim World 5 is the latest version of the popular train simulation game from Dovetail Games. As in previous installments, players control various trains on realistically recreated routes in well-known cities around the world. New in this version are three new routes, including the famous West Coast Main Line (London Euston to Milton Keynes), the Kinzigtalbahn (Frankfurt to Fulda) and the San Bernardino Line (Los Angeles to San Bernardino). In career mode, players have to master various challenges, for which they are rewarded with new trains and routes.
