Xbox Game Pass Losing 8 Games This Month

It looks like Xbox is offering a heads-up of what games are leaving Xbox Game Pass this month. Typically, this is not how games are revealed to be leaving the subscription service, but thanks to Gamerant, we’re getting an early look at what’s leaving. Fortunately, even though these games are leaving the subscription service, there are still some incentives to try these titles out before they are only made available through the Xbox digital storefront or purchasing physical copies from a retailer. 

Xbox Game Pass typically has two waves of video game reveals each month. Microsoft will take to the Xbox Wire to alert followers of what video games are coming to this month’s subscription service. Likewise, they also unveil just what video games are removed. We’ve already had the first wave of games unveiled, along with titles that were leaving the subscription service during that first wave. Now, while we’re waiting for the second wave to be unveiled officially, Microsoft has already revealed what titles are being removed through the Leaving Soon category within the Xbox Game Pass. 

As mentioned, there is an incentive here to check the games out even though they are being removed. Microsoft provides a 20% discount to purchase the games if you wish to keep them in your library. That’s a decent saving if you find that you enjoy a game and want to play through it entirely or just want to ensure you can go back to a title you found enjoyable from this list. Hopefully, you had the chance to try these games and have gone through them already. That’s the unfortunate part of Xbox Game Pass, as third-party titles don’t stay on the service. Instead, you will only find that Microsoft’s first-party games are featured on the Xbox Game
