We've delivered the good news in the form of eight new titles coming to Xbox Game Pass, however we must now look at what's leaving the library this month. Unfortunately, it's quite a chunky selection of mostly-well-known games with this update.

The list includes heavy hitters like World War Z, What Remains Of Edith Finch, Two Point Hospital, and more. Here's the full list of titles leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of August:

Date Game Platform
August 31 Elite Dangerous Console, Cloud
August 31 Hades Console, PC, Cloud
August 31 Myst Console, PC, Cloud
August 31 NBA 2K22 Console, Cloud
August 31 Signs of the Sojourner Console, PC, Cloud
August 31 Spiritfarer Console, PC, Cloud
August 31 Twelve Minutes Console, PC, Cloud
August 31 Two Point Hospital Console, PC, Cloud
August 31 What Remains of Edith Finch Console, PC, Cloud
August 31 World War Z Console, PC, Cloud

It's sad to see these titles leave, and a few of them are definitely worth a playthrough between now and August 31st. We recently went hands on with What Remains of Edith Finch's free next-gen upgrade, which is brilliant on Xbox Series X, and Hades is a much-loved roguelike that's absolutely worth a play before the month is out.

Will you be trying out any of these before the end of August? Let us know which!
