Update (Mon 27th Jul, 2020 10:15 BST): The official Xbox Game Pass app has revealed that F1 2018 will also be removed for Xbox Game Pass soon - seemingly on the 31st. We've added this to the table below.
Original story (Wed 15th Jul, 2020 14:15 BST): Microsoft has revealed that three games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass later this month on July 31st. All of these titles are available at up to 20% off until that date if you want to buy them permanently.
Included are the 2017 sports sim Ashes Cricket, visually striking adventure puzzle game RiME, and tactical role-playing game The Banner Saga 3 which released for Xbox One back in 2018.

| July 31st | Ashes Cricket | Xbox One |
| July 31st | RiME | Xbox One, PC |

I am not particularly interested in playing those games anyway, though I have played Rime on Nintendo Switch and I loved it.
I have Ashes Cricket installed, I will check this out before it leaves.....
Ashes Cricket is good if you're a cricket fan! I started RiME the other week and really enjoyed it... I know what I'll be playing this weekend.
For anyone who hasn’t played Rime yet- it’s worth a play. I enjoyed the game on Switch despite some technical issues so I would imagine it would play better on Xbox.
@FraserG Just tried Ashes Cricket out, it's not bad at all.. Only proplem, I lost the coin toss and had to bowl when I wanted to Bat.. It took 3 reloads of the match to win the toss and get to bat first 😂
@BANJO If you don't want to bowl, you can go into the options and simulate the entire innings so you get through it quickly.
And in Career Mode, you can just make yourself a batter so you never have to bowl.
@FraserG Ahh, that sounds good to me, you can obviously tell it's my first time playing it.. I will check through the options, this makes the game alot more appealing.... Thank you!!
@BANJO No problem! I used to play it quite a lot when it came out.
Update: F1 2018 has been added to the list.
@FraserG I saw that yesterday evening on the app, so I started plaing it... It's a great game. Tempted to buy it physically as it goes for under a tenner now and the 202p version is out. The digital version is still £35.99 even with the Gamepass Discount which makes it a no go at that price.
I should have played the game earlier 🤔
(Perhaps I could wait to see if it's in the Summer Sale which should be anytime now...)
@BANJO There's also a chance F1 2019 could be added to Xbox Game Pass in its place... that would be nice!
@FraserG Just checked over the reviews, 2019 version reviewed even better than the 2018 version, so that would be ideal 😀
