Xbox Game Pass Is Losing The Witcher 3 And Several More Games In August

Xbox Game Pass subscribers will soon see a fresh rotation of titles leaving the catalog. According to recent reports, Microsoft's subscription service is set to lose several games in August, most notably CD Projekt Red's acclaimed role-playing epic, The Witcher 3.

While Xbox Game Pass frequently adds new titles to its extensive library, the service also routinely cycles games out. The departure of The Witcher 3 alongside other titles means players who are currently working through these experiences or have been meaning to check them out will want to wrap up their playthroughs before they leave the platform. Subscribers typically have a limited window to purchase departing games at a discount if they wish to keep playing them after they exit the service.

Microsoft has not yet detailed the exact removal dates or the full final list of every game slated to leave Xbox Game Pass in August, but further announcements regarding the second wave of additions and removals for the month are expected soon. Fans looking to maximize their time with The Witcher 3 and the other affected titles should keep an eye on official Xbox channels for the definitive schedule of departures.
