The time has come for the Xbox Game Pass catalog to lose a few of its heavy hitters. Among the list of the fallen includes several successful games like NBA 2K22, Hades, and more.

As of Aug. 31 these games will no longer be on Game Pass:

  • Elite Dangerous
  • Hades
  • Myst
  • NBA 2K22
  • Signs of the Sojouner
  • Spiritfarer
  • Twelve Minutes
  • Two Point Hospital
  • What Remains in Edith Finch
  • World War Z

Hades will be missed—the thrilling indie “rogue-like dungeon crawler” is incredibly popular with players on steam and its transition to Game Pass turned some heads. It’s an underworld hack and slasher created by Supergiant Games where players defy the god of the dead. Unfortunately, it will be among the lost games in the Game Pass update.
