Update: Microsoft has added Batman: Arkham Knight to the list of upcoming removals via its Xbox Game Pass app, although it hasn't announced this one publicly (thanks True Achievements).
We've included this in the updated table below.
Original story (Tue 1st Sep, 2020 14:22 BST): Microsoft has today highlighted four games that will be removed from Xbox Game Pass in early September, including two we already knew about in NBA 2K20 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
In addition to these, the service will also be losing Gonner: Blueberry Edition (although Gonner2 appears to be arriving on Game Pass soon), along with popular fighter Jump Force.
| Date | Game | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| September 1st | NBA 2K20 | Xbox One |
| September 7th | Red Dead Redemption 2 | Xbox One |
| September 15th | Gonner: Blueberry Edition | Xbox One, PC |
| September 15th | Jump Force | Xbox One |
| TBD (September 15th?) | Batman: Arkham Knight | Xbox One |
As always, these titles are now available to purchase at 20% off for Xbox Game Pass members, and that offer will remain until the games are removed from the service.

I started Jump Force but couldn't get into it at all. Already uninstalled it, so no great loss. Huge 3rd party games like RDR2 need to be played the minute they come out on GP or you risk it getting removed when you're half way through (not an issue for people with enough spare time to binge their way through a game if required, I guess).
None of these I was too eager to play so no biggie! I am currently playing New Super Lucky's Tale!
@Dpullam Me too! Loving it
Only NBA 2K20 I play and I got that digitally for £2.49 so all good...
Sucks RDR 2 is leaving so soon, i wonder how much xbox paid rockstar to have there game on gamepass only for a couple monthes..
Need to try out jump force before it leaves, I suspect it won't be for me but I'm still curious!
@FraserG Yep it is a fantastic game for sure! The second world harkens back to my Banjo Kazooie days in terms of level design and music. I had such a good time with that one.
I keep trying with RDR2 but just can’t get into it. Unless it happens in the next few days I probably never will....
Meh.. Doesn’t look like I’ll have to interrupt my play through of Halo 2.
I'm fine, the only game on that list that picked my interest was RDR2, but I already have it retail. Currently playing wasteland 3, rise of tomb raider, and waiting for the episode 2 of tell me why
Updated! Batman: Arkham Knight is now appearing on the list of removals on the Xbox Game Pass app.
I've been playing Jump Force on Game Pass, guess I'll be buying it now...
Will have to play Batman: Arkham Knight.... Perhaps I should have played it already or got it the other week when on deep discount🤔...
@BANJO it will be discounted again! Shows up regularly on xb and steam stores. But it’s totally worth diving into.
@electrolite77 took a while to click for me too, but then it opens up. Totally worth experiencing, but it’s not a game I’d recommend rushing through. Part of the charm of it is stumbling across a weird tree one minute, finding a legendary animal the next and then being ambushed by bandits - while on the way to your objective. The interruptions and discovery are the best parts, and I don’t think you appreciate that as much when trying to crush the main storyline.
Well, maybe I buy that Batman next time it is on sale.
I got Batman Arkham Knight and all the dlc for £9.99 time back on sale
