Microsoft has updated the Xbox Game Pass rotation list: five titles will be leaving the catalog on August 31, 2026, most notably The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Complete Edition).
Games to be removed:
- Another Crab's Treasure. An action-adventure platformer with an original style and environmental overtones.
- I Am Your Beast. An intense action game where gameplay revolves around animal instincts and aggressive mechanics.
- Neon Abyss. A roguelike with procedural generation and complex item synergies for hardcore challengers.
- One Lonely Outpost. A strategy/building simulator where players must survive and develop their base in isolation.
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Complete Edition). Includes the base game and all major expansions, including Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.
Rotation context. The removal of major hits like The Witcher 3 is a rare but expected occurrence: publishing contracts have a term, and after their expiration, titles leave the subscription. At the same time, the catalog remains dynamic: this month, for example, Beast of Reincarnation and a number of other new titles were added to Game Pass for Premium subscribers.
For subscribers, this rotation is a reason to review their wishlist and prioritize: if a game has been on their to-do list for a long time, August is the last month to play it with the subscription.
