Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In August 2024

Update: Microsoft has now begun revealing some of the confirmed Xbox Game Pass leavers in August, so we'll keep updating the table below with any titles that are part of the list.


Original story: What's leaving Xbox Game Pass in August 2024? Well, Microsoft hasn't confirmed anything just yet, but based on some games that were added to the service this time last year, we can at least make a few predictions ahead of time.

We know that a lot of Xbox users want more advance notice of games leaving Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft understandably gives us around two weeks right now - and don't forget, publishers sometimes secure late deals with Microsoft to keep their games on Game Pass, even after they've been announced to be leaving!

So, before we take a look at the following list of potential games leaving Xbox Game Pass in August 2024, we want to stress that nothing has been confirmed yet, and this will not be a 100% accurate list by any means. Some of these games might leave, some of these games might stay, and many others might be added to the list.

The most common (but definitely not the only) trend with Xbox Game Pass seems to be that games stick around for one year, so we've gone back to August 2023 to look at the games that were added to Game Pass at the time. That said, we've also added a few games from the August 2022 list as well. Based on those original announcements, here's what we think could potentially leave Xbox Game Pass in August 2024:

August 30, 2023 Call Of The Wild: The Angler Console, PC, Cloud
March 11, 2024 NBA 2K24 (Leaving August 31, 2024) Console

As usual, there could be plenty of additions to this list, and a few of these games might stick around for Xbox Game Pass for even longer, but it seems likely that we'll lose at least some of these in August 2024. Our predictions usually turn out to be anywhere from 30%-80% correct - you never know how accurate they'll be!

We're only just getting stuck into July's Xbox Game Pass lineup as well, with plenty of great titles heading to the service over the next few weeks. Some of the leavers for this month have also been confirmed, with six departing very soon:
