On August 16th, Xbox Game Pass subscribers lost access to a handful of significant games, including The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Airborne Kingdom, and Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition. Unfortunately, we can expect a few more losses this month, with the removals of Atomic Heart, NBA 2K24, and Guilty Gear -Strive-, all of which will be leaving the service on August 30th. As is always the case, Game Pass subscribers can expect a 20% digital discount on these games, so those that want to continue to play them on the platform can do so without having to pay full price.

Now that Xbox has revealed which games will be leaving at the end of the month, we should soon learn about the next batch slated to arrive on Game Pass. As of this writing, the only remaining game that we know will arrive on the service this month is Core Keeper, a day one title that will be released on August 27th. In the next day or two, Xbox should provide a full list of games filling out the rest of the month, possibly into the first few days of September.

There haven't been any hints about what else to expect in August, but it's possible we could more games from Activision Blizzard's back catalog. Earlier this month saw the addition of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, which was revealed ahead of an official announcement by the leaker eXtas1s. That same leaker also claimed that Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 will soon be added to Game Pass, though they did not offer any kind of definitive window.
