Xbox Game Pass, one of the leading gaming services in the market, is once again saying goodbye to several unique games developed by third-party developers. While the service offers a diverse range of titles for its subscribers to enjoy, these games are not available indefinitely. Therefore, it is advisable for players to take advantage of them while they are still accessible.
On the bright side, Xbox Game Pass consistently introduces new games, ensuring that subscribers always have exciting options to explore. However, it is crucial for players to prioritize playing the games they are interested in before they are removed from the service. Fortunately, all Game Pass subscribers are eligible for a minimum 20% discount to purchase these featured games permanently before they are taken off the service.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers will lose access to six unique games, including DJ Max Respect V, Road 96, Matchpoint: Tennis Championships, Olija, Omori, and John Romero's Empire of Sin, starting from June 30, 2023. It is important to note that these games will be removed from both the console and PC versions of Game Pass. However, it is worth mentioning that the two versions of the subscription do not necessarily have the same game library.

Those who are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass are constantly treated to a diverse range of genre offerings, as new games are regularly added and removed from the service. While some may be disheartened by the temporary nature of these games, it actually ensures a fresh and ever-changing library of titles for players to enjoy.
Xbox's first-party games are a permanent feature on Game Pass, which is great news for gamers. For example, the highly anticipated sequel to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is always accessible and will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. Additionally, with Bethesda showcasing their upcoming open-world flagship game, Starfield, Game Pass subscribers will have the opportunity to freely enjoy it when it launches in September.
Those who are interested in Game Pass should pay attention to the games confirmed during the Xbox Game Showcase. While it's true that some games will eventually rotate out of availability, subscribers can stay updated on the current roster of titles and make sure to play the ones that pique their interest.
