Highlights
Xbox Game Pass is losing six games today, including Black Desert and Surgeon Simulator 2.
Subscribers can take advantage of the remaining time to play these games before they are taken down. Additionally, they have the opportunity to purchase these games with a 20% discount as long as they remain available on the service.

Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service will bid farewell to six games today. Every month, the culmination of the month brings both excitement and disappointment to Xbox Game Pass subscribers. While the announcement of new games being added to the service is eagerly awaited, it also signifies the departure of certain games from the subscription.
Although games depart from Xbox Game Pass on varying dates, the majority of games are removed during two specific days each month. The initial wave of removals occurs on the 15th, followed by another batch of games on the final day of the month. This trend remains consistent for August 2023, with today representing the last opportunity for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to experience six games before they are withdrawn from the library.
