Calling all Xbox Game Pass subscribers! Leaks suggest a treasure trove of beloved Activision titles, including Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Tony Hawk, are gearing up to join the Xbox Game Pass party.

Activision Games Hitting Xbox Game Pass Soon

According to reliable sources like eXputer and Windows Central, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy – the remastered collection featuring Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped – is confirmed to be hitting Game Pass this August. This marks a sweet homecoming for Crash, following the trilogy’s initial release on Xbox One back in 2018.

But the good news doesn’t stop there! The Spyro and Tony Hawk franchises are also rumored to be joining the Game Pass party “very soon.” While exact release dates remain under wraps (August or a bit later?), one thing’s for sure: fans won’t have to wait long to revisit these beloved franchises.

For those who missed out on these fantastic remakes, here’s a quick rundown:

  • Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy: This collection faithfully captures the original Crash experience with stunning visuals and keeps the challenging platforming gameplay intact (so be prepared for a sweat-inducing adventure!).
  • Spyro Reignited Trilogy: Similar to Crash, Spyro’s remakes offer a beautiful recreation of the classic Spyro games while maintaining the core gameplay that fans know and love.
  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2: This critically acclaimed title is considered a near-perfect remaster, bringing back the iconic skateboarding experience with modern visuals and polish.

A Strategic Release Schedule

With Call of Duty: Black Ops rumored for an October launch, it appears Microsoft might be strategically spacing out these Activision releases. August seems to be the month for Crash, followed by Spyro and Tony Hawk (potentially in September) to avoid overwhelming subscribers.

The arrival of these beloved franchises is just the beginning. The future of Game Pass looks even brighter with whispers of Activision potentially bringing over a decade’s worth of classic Call of Duty titles to the service. Buckle up, Xbox players – it’s going to be a legendary ride!
