Xbox Game Pass Leaving Soon: Full List of Games Departing in Late August 2026

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, don’t miss your last chance to play hit titles like The Witcher 3 and Another Crab’s Treasure on Xbox Game Pass before they leave on August 31, 2026—plus, save at least 20% if you buy them to keep!

As is tradition with Microsoft’s subscription service, the arrival of a fresh wave of titles means saying goodbye to a handful of familiar favorites. Microsoft has officially detailed the roster of games exiting Xbox Game Pass at the end of the month.

If you have been putting off a playthrough, or if you are mid-campaign and need to rush to the credits, you have until August 31, 2026, to finish them via the service. Fortunately, Microsoft offers a silver lining: a discount of at least 20% on all departing titles so you can permanently add them to your digital library.

The Complete List of Xbox Game Pass Departures (Late August 2026)

Five distinct titles are scheduled to leave the platform across console, PC, and cloud platforms. Here is the official lineup:

Date	Game Title	Supported Platforms
August 31	Neon Abyss	Console, PC, Cloud
August 31	One Lonely Outpost	Console, PC, Cloud
August 31	Another Crab’s Treasure	Console, PC, Cloud
August 31	I Am Your Beast	Console, PC, Cloud
August 31	The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt	Console, Cloud (PC excluded)

Highlighted Departures: What You’ll Miss

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered Edition

Perhaps the most notable and surprising departure on the list is CD Projekt Red’s masterclass RPG. Having only rejoined the service earlier this year, its brief stint on Game Pass is coming to an abrupt close. Spanning dozens—if not hundreds—of hours, finishing Geralt of Rivia’s next-gen enhanced journey before August 31 will require a massive time commitment. If you cannot finish it in time, take advantage of the 20% member discount to carry your save data over.

Another Crab’s Treasure

This charming, pastel-hued “Soulslike” adventure caught players by surprise with its surprisingly deep combat, witty writing, and creative mechanics (using trash like tin cans and cardboard boxes as protective shells). Taking roughly 15 to 20 hours to complete, it is entirely feasible to roll credits before it leaves the service. It also features built-in accessibility options, making it a great entry point for players intimidated by traditional action-RPG difficulty.

Neon Abyss

A staple of the indie roguelike scene, Neon Abyss combines frantic, room-clearing gunplay with an explosive item-synergy system. Having spent a considerable amount of time on the platform, its departure marks the end of an era for fans of chaotic action.

I Am Your Beast

I Am Your Beast offers high-octane, stylish tactical action fueled by swift target planning and snappy pacing.

One Lonely Outpost

One Lonely Outpost blends sci-fi survival mechanics with classic colony-sim farming, offering a distinct twist on the genre inspired by Martian survival.
