Microsoft has revealed the next eight games leaving Xbox Game Pass<\/a> in late July 2026, with all of these being highlighted as “leaving soon” on the official Xbox mobile app.<\/p>\n

Some of the biggest departures in here include Celeste<\/a>, Mount & Blade 2<\/a> and Sniper Elite: Resistance<\/a>, while it’s also interesting that Back to the Dawn<\/a>, My Friendly Neighborhood<\/a> and Whiskerwood<\/a> have all returned to the list – they were first included in the early July leavers before Microsoft removed them. Could it happen again?<\/p>\n

Here’s the full list of games set to leave Xbox Game Pass in late July 2026:<\/p>\n\nDate<\/strong><\/td>\nGame<\/strong><\/td>\nPlatform<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJuly 31<\/td>\nBack To The Dawn<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJuly 31<\/td>\nCeleste<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJuly 31<\/td>\nCrusader Kings 3<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJuly 31<\/td>\nMount & Blade 2: Bannerlord<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJuly 31<\/td>\nMy Friendly Neighborhood<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJuly 31<\/td>\nRain World<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJuly 31<\/td>\nSniper Elite: Resistance<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJuly 31<\/td>\nWhiskerwood<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nPC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

You’ll find discounts of at least 20% on all of these Xbox Game Pass titles until they leave on July 31st<\/strong>, and both Crusader Kings 3 and Whiskerwood are reduced even further as part of the Xbox Summer Sale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The good news is that July still has some major games to come as well, including the likes of Halo: Campaign Evolved<\/a> and Mistfall Hunter<\/a>. Even August is already looking pretty stacked for Xbox Game Pass<\/a> too!<\/p>\n
