Microsoft has confirmed another round of departures for Xbox Game Pass, with eight games set to leave the subscription catalog at the end of July 2026. The update marks the next wave of removals for the month and gives subscribers a limited window to play these titles before they are taken out of the lineup.
Among the games identified in the latest batch are Sniper Elite: Resistance, Rain World, Crusader Kings III, and Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. The trimmed report also points to additional titles exiting the service, bringing the total number of removals in this wave to eight.
Game Pass regularly rotates its library, adding new releases while also removing older or licensed games as agreements expire. For players, these announcements are an important heads-up, especially when larger strategy, action, or survival titles are involved, since they can require a significant time investment.
The end-of-month removals are part of the normal cycle for Microsoft’s subscription service, but they can still reshape the value of the catalog for active users. With July nearing its close, subscribers who want to try any of the departing games will need to do so before the latest Xbox Game Pass refresh takes effect.
