Xbox Game Pass Is Losing 8 More Games at the End of July

Microsoft has confirmed another wave of titles leaving Xbox Game Pass, with eight games scheduled to be removed on July 31 across console, PC, and cloud (where available).

Among the biggest departures are Celeste, Crusader Kings III, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, and Sniper Elite: Resistance, giving subscribers only a limited time to play them before they leave the service.

This follows an earlier batch of 11 games removed on July 15, making July one of the largest months for Game Pass removals in recent memory.
