11 Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Early September 2026
Microsoft has announced that 11 games are departing Xbox Game Pass in early September 2026, with the departures highlighted as “leaving soon” on the official Xbox mobile app. The announcement represents a substantial monthly departure from the subscription service.
Notable titles among those leaving include Cyberpunk 2077, the acclaimed sci-fi RPG set in Night City, and Frostpunk 2, the post-apocalyptic city-building strategy game. The sizeable list reflects ongoing licensing and publishing dynamics that affect Game Pass availability, as subscription agreements expire and publishers make decisions about their titles’ presence on the platform.
Subscribers interested in continuing to play any of these games after they leave Game Pass will need to purchase them separately. Microsoft typically provides advance notice to allow players time to decide whether to finish their playthroughs or buy the titles outright. Game Pass churn is a regular occurrence as the service balances its catalog between newly added and departing games throughout each month.
