\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s leaving Xbox Game Pass in August 2026? 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.<\/p>\n

We know that a lot of Xbox users want more advance notice of games leaving Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft usually gives us around two weeks right now<\/a> – 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!<\/p>\n

So, before we take a look at the following list of potential games leaving Xbox Game Pass in August 2026, 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.<\/p>\n

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 2025<\/a> to look at the games that were added to Game Pass at the time. That said, we’ve also gone back to the August 2024 list<\/a> as well, just to see what may potentially stick around for two years in total. Based on those original announcements, here’s what we think could potentially leave Xbox Game Pass in August 2026:<\/p>\n

August 21, 2025
\nHerdling<\/a> (Seems unlikely)
\nSeries X|S, PC, Cloud<\/p>\n

As usual, there could be plenty of additions to this list, and a few of these games might stick around on Xbox Game Pass for even longer, but it seems likely that we’ll lose at least some of these in August 2026. Our predictions usually turn out to be anywhere from 30%-80% correct – you never know how accurate they’ll be!<\/p>\n

We’ve obviously got loads of coming to Game Pass in the near future as well, with tons of XGP titles already confirmed for July 2026<\/a>. You can check those out elsewhere on Pure Xbox, along with our full 2026 Xbox Game Pass guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Which of these are you desperate not to lose? Let us know down in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
