Here’s What Might Leave Xbox Game Pass In August 2025
By What titles are exiting Xbox Game Pass in August 2025? As of now, Microsoft hasn’t verified anything, but taking into account the titles that were incorporated into the service around this time last year, we can at least make several forecasts in advance.
We understand that many Xbox users desire more prior warning regarding games exiting Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft currently typically notifies us about two weeks in advance – and remember, publishers occasionally negotiate late agreements with Microsoft to retain their games on Game Pass, even after they’ve been stated to be departing!
Therefore, before we explore the subsequent list of potential games leaving Xbox Game Pass in August 2025, it is important to emphasize that nothing has been verified yet, and this will not be a completely precise list by any measure. Some of these titles may depart, some may remain, and numerous others may be added to the compilation.
The prevalent (though not the sole) pattern observed with Xbox Game Pass appears to be that games tend to remain for one year, thus, we’ve revisited August 2024 to examine the games that were introduced to Game Pass at that time. With that being said, we’ve also revisited the August 2023 roster, which has a robust set of potential departures. Considering those initial announcements, here’s what we anticipate might exit Xbox Game Pass in August 2025:
| Date It Joined Xbox Game Pass | Game | Platform |
| August 1, 2023 | Celeste | Console, PC, Cloud |
| August 9, 2023 | Limbo | Console, PC, Cloud |
| August 17, 2023 | Firewatch | Console, PC, Cloud |
| August 29, 2023 | Sea of Stars | Console, PC, Cloud |
| August 30, 2023 | Call of the Wild: The Angler | Console, PC, Cloud |
| August 7, 2024 | Creatures of Ava | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
| August 22, 2024 | Atlas Fallen | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
| August 27, 2024 | Core Keeper | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
As is customary, there could be numerous additions to this compilation, and a few of these titles may linger on Xbox Game Pass for an extended period. However, it seems probable that we will lose at least some of these in August 2025. Our forecasts generally turn out to be between 30%-80% accurate – who knows how precise they’ll be!
There’s still plenty to arrive at the service this month as well, including Xbox first-party offerings Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 and Grounded 2, in addition to titles like Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and the comeback of the crazy FPS High On Life.
