Overview & Key Takeaways

EA Sports FC 26 arrives just in time for the FIFA Word Cup. Xbox Game Pass is also losing a lot of titles, including Tomb Raider.

Amid the potential closing of its studios Compulsion Games, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine, Xbox revealed its next wave of titles hitting Game Pass, and it's kind of a weak one. EA Sports FC 26, EA's latest soccer game, leads a lineup that also includes a Call of Duty misfire and more.

EA Sports FC 26 features over 20,000 licensed players from over 750 national teams and clubs. It boasts "the most true-to-football experience ever" in its Career mode, where you create your own customized footballer. Cobble together your personal football Dream Team in Ultimate Team and compete in Live Events and tournaments. EA Sports FC 26 lands on Xbox Game Pass just as the FIFA World Cup 2026 starts heating up, though you can't actually complete in the World Cup in FC 26 as EA no longer has the FIFA license.

Also arriving is Call of Duty: Vanguard, the latest entry to set the fray in World War II. You know what it's all about: run and gun your way through a campaign stretched across the fronts in the Pacific, Europe, and North Africa before testing your mettle in Vanguard's PvP multiplayer modes. Vanguard also features a Zombies mode set in WWII. The 2021 entry received a mixed reception with only a 51% critics recommended score on OpenCritic.

Surprise Xbox Game To Be Announced At Gamescom, Insider Says

Microsoft is gearing up to announce a new game at Gamescom this month, it appears, and it could be from an established series. Insider NateTheHate 2(https://x.com/NateTheHate2/status/2088674549428556273) said, "I've heard of a neat Xbox announcement that should be at Gamescom." He said it will be a "new game in a series" as opposed to a new IP. And no, it's not a new Banjo-Kazooie game, he said(https://x.com/NateTheHate2/status/2089442879185748013). He added that, whatever the project is, it's from a franchise that Microsoft owns(https://x.com/NateTheHate2/status/2089457810501251429), but it's not being made by a studio that Microsoft owns(https://x.com/NateTheHate2/status/2089460969919426888). That leaves open a lot of possibilities, so your guess is as good as anyone's right now as to what it may be and which studio could be behind it. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/XboxGamescom.jpg?w=636) Microsoft has an announcement on tap for Gamescom, it seems. That's all we have to go on for now, but with Gamescom coming up soon, we should find out shortly. Xbox is not holding its own dedicated showcase at Gamescom, but it's possible the announcement could come during Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live on August 25. The Xbox booth at Gamescom(https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/28/xbox-gamescom-2026/) will feature 25 upcoming games, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Fable, Minecraft Dungeons II, Gears of War: E-Day, Metro 2039, Stranger Than Heaven, and Alien: Isolation 2. There will also be live broadcasts from the Xbox booth August 26 and August 27, featuring interviews, guests, gameplay reveals, trailers, "and more." Perhaps one of the interview slots will be about this upcoming mystery game. 2026 is the 25th anniversary of Xbox, and the company has a lot planned(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-unveils-new-25th-anniversary-edition-xbox-series-x-based-on-original-xbox-and-its-gonna-be-pricey/).
