Games leaving XBOX Game Pass in August

Microsoft has not confirmed the first group of games leaving XBOX Game Pass in August 2026. The company should reveal an initial removal list soon, followed by another batch during the second half of the month.

The expanding catalog arrives alongside wider cloud gaming support. The XBOX Stream Your Own Game library recently gained 37 titles, giving subscribers more options to stream games they already own.

Microsoft has also expanded device availability as XBOX Cloud Gaming arrives on more Hisense and VIDAA TVs, allowing more players to access supported games without a console.
