Xbox Game Pass Prepares to Lose Celeste, Crusader Kings 3, and More on July 31
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Xbox Game Pass is scheduled to lose seven titles on July 31, headlined by critically acclaimed hits Crusader Kings 3 and Celeste.
The rotating door of subscription gaming is about to spin away two heavy hitters. According to a recent update in the Xbox app's leaving soon section, Microsoft is preparing to remove seven titles from Xbox Game Pass on July 31. The upcoming wave features two of the highest-rated games currently available on the platform, making this departure a notable hit to the catalog's critical prestige. As reported by Game Rant, acclaimed strategy title Crusader Kings 3 and precision platforming masterpiece Celeste are both heading for the exit.
Both games carry OpenCritic averages in the nineties, placing them in the upper echelon of the entire database. Losing titles of this caliber narrows the variety of critically lauded experiences on the service. It also serves as a reminder of the transient nature of subscription libraries. Players who have been slowly chipping away at their grand strategy campaigns or putting off those brutal mountain climbs have a limited window to finish up before these games leave the platform.
While the Xbox app currently lists seven departures for the end of the month, the list remains provisional. Microsoft frequently adjusts these rosters right up until the official biweekly content roadmap drops. Anyone wanting to experience these titles before they rotate out can take advantage of the member discount to purchase them permanently. Head over to Game Rant for the full breakdown of the incoming changes and to read their original coverage of the update.
