Summary
- Xbox Game Pass subscribers to say goodbye to at least four games on August 15, with more leaving by the month's end.

- The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an asymmetric multiplayer horror game based on a classic franchise, worth checking out before it's gone.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be losing access to at least four games on August 15, but even more games will be getting the boot before August is said and done. New games are added to Xbox Game Pass on a monthly basis, but just as new games join the service, others are removed.
Xbox Game Pass games are removed on the 15th of every month and on the last day of every month, with some rare exceptions to the rule. Microsoft announces the Game Pass removals at the same time that it reveals the new games that are on the way, softening the blow a bit and giving fans some time to play the games before they leave. Microsoft has yet to announce the Xbox Game Pass Wave 1 games for August 2024, and so the official lineup of departures has yet to be revealed, but the Game Pass' Leaving Soon section has confirmed at least four games that are on their way out.
Xbox Game Pass Confirms New Game for August 13
Microsoft officially confirms a game coming to Xbox Game Pass on August 13 that was previously leaked.
August 15 will be the last day that Xbox Game Pass subscribers get to play Aiborne Kingdom, Offworld Trading Company, Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. All four games are available at a 20% discount while they're still on Game Pass, so subscribers can buy them at a lower price if they want to retain access to them after they're removed.
Xbox Game Pass Games Leaving August 2024
- Airborne Kingdom
- Offworld Trading Company
- Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition
- The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Out of all the games leaving Xbox Game Pass in August 2024, the one that players may want to prioritize is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based on the classic horror film franchise. In it, one team of players plays as the victims trying to escape, while the other team takes on the role of Leatherface and his twisted family members. As far as these types of games go, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of the better-received ones, and so fans of games like Dead by Daylight should definitely be sure to check it out while it's still available on Game Pass.
In the meantime, there will be new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in August 2024 for fans to look forward to as well. The official announcement still has yet to come from Microsoft, but previous release date announcements have let fans know that they can expect games like Creatures of Ava on August 7 and Core Keeper on August 27, while a reputable leaker has claimed that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy could be coming to Game Pass on August 8.
