The next Xbox first-party game heading our way is Age of Mythology: Retold on September 4th, and if you're keen to start playing as soon as it drops on that Wednesday, you can begin pre-installing it now with Xbox Game Pass!

We're looking at a great download size of just 23GB on Xbox Series X here too, so you shouldn't need to make much room for it. Don't forget this is a day one release across both Series X and Series S as well as PC.

For those who haven't been keeping up, Age of Mythology: Retold is a significantly enhanced version of the original Age of Mythology strategy game from 2002, complete with new visuals and even quite a few new features.

Xbox is doing a thing where you can get early access on August 27th via the Premium Edition as well, which is either available via the Premium Edition itself (£37.99 / $49.99) or via the Premium Upgrade Edition (£19.99 / $24.99) which is designed for Xbox Game Pass members as it doesn't include the game - so you'll need to stay subscribed to play it.

Or alternatively, just wait until September 4th and play it at no extra charge with your Game Pass subscription!
