Microsoft Removes 8 Xbox Game Pass Games on July 31 as Celeste, Bannerlord Exit

Summary
Eight titles are now marked "leaving soon" in the Xbox mobile app and are set to exit Game Pass on July 31 across console, PC and cloud.
Celeste, Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, Crusader Kings 3 and Sniper Elite: Resistance headline the removals, alongside Rain World, Back to the Dawn, My Friendly Neighborhood and PC-only Whiskerwood.
Back to the Dawn, My Friendly Neighborhood and Whiskerwood had already appeared on the early-July leavers list before Microsoft removed them, making their return notable.
At least 20% discounts apply to all eight games until they leave, with Crusader Kings 3 and Whiskerwood cut further in the Xbox Summer Sale.
July’s departures come as Microsoft still has upcoming Game Pass additions including Halo: Campaign Evolved and Mistfall Hunter, with August’s lineup already taking shape.
