Exclusive Insider News: Xbox Game Pass Drops One of Its Most Beloved Games This Month!

Xbox Game Pass will be losing three games in July 2023, including the highly acclaimed Spelunky 2. Microsoft regularly adds and removes games from the Xbox Game Pass lineup, with removals typically occurring on the 15th and last day of each month.

Although it's disappointing when games are taken off the Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft typically provides subscribers with ample notice so they can prioritize playing those games. The complete list of games being removed is usually announced alongside the new additions. Microsoft has not yet made this announcement, likely due to the 4th of July holiday. However, the Game Pass app has updated to indicate that three games are expected to be removed on July 15.

The Xbox Game Pass Leaving Soon section has received an update, now featuring PAW Patrol: Adventure City Calls, Exo One, and Spelunky 2. Although specific details have not been officially announced, it is highly probable that the aforementioned three games will be removed on July 15. Individuals interested in adding these games to their collection can purchase them at a 20% discount while they are still available on Xbox Game Pass.

Spelunky 2

Among the three games departing Xbox Game Pass in July 2023, Spelunky 2 stands out as the most significant. Originally exclusive to PlayStation 4 in 2020, this game later became available on other platforms. Although it took nearly two years for Spelunky 2 to arrive on Xbox, its inclusion in Xbox Game Pass greatly enhanced accessibility for Xbox gamers. Notably acclaimed as one of the top-rated games of 2020, it is disheartening to see it removed from the Xbox Game Pass lineup. However, those who have yet to experience this highly praised game still have a couple of weeks to give it a try.

For Xbox Game Pass subscribers, it's also worth considering trying out PAW Patrol: Adventure City Calls and Exo One before they leave the service. PAW Patrol: Adventure City Calls may not offer much enjoyment for non-children, but it is a worthwhile game for those seeking achievements. On the other hand, Exo One is a thoughtfully reviewed game centered around piloting an alien spacecraft, which may appeal more to older gamers.
