Another batch of Xbox Game Pass titles are on their way out at the end of the month, and it looks like the service will be losing some cool, cute, and critically acclaimed games. At the same time, you can check out several games coming to Game Pass in August as part of its second wave of new releases.
Listed on the “Leaving Soon” tab on the Xbox mobile app, the list includes the following five games exiting the subscription service on August 31: Another Crab’s Treasure, I Am Your Beast, Neon Abyss, One Lonely Outpost, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition. As usual, you can save 20% on these games if you decide to buy them before they leave Game Pass. Another Crab’s Treasure is a cute take on the souls-like genre, I Am Your Beast plays like a first-person version of Hotline Miami, and Neon Abyss is a slick, action-packed 2D roguelike platformer.
The biggest departure here is The Witcher 3, as Game Pass subscribers will be losing access to CD Projekt Red’s open-world masterpiece set in a world of swords and sorcery. The good news is that the game usually retails for a pretty low price, so if you’re in the middle of a quest, it’s worth picking up, especially when you can score a sizable discount on it. Microsoft typically adds and removes games from Game Pass in two waves per month. Earlier this month, Game Pass saw four games wave goodbye, but the library was bolstered with new arrivals like Beast of Reincarnation and access to the Gears of War: E-Day beta.
We’ve also gotten confirmation from Xbox that NBA 2K26 will be leaving Xbox Game Pass on September 6.
