Summary
Eight games leave Xbox Game Pass on July 31, lifting the service’s total July 2026 removals to 18 and capping the month’s catalog rotation.
Whiskerwood was added after Microsoft’s mid-month app update had listed seven departures, joining Celeste, Crusader Kings 3, My Friendly Neighborhood, Back to the Dawn, Sniper Elite: Resistance, Rain World and Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord.
Celeste and Crusader Kings 3 are the highest-profile exits, carrying OpenCritic averages of 92 and 91 and ranking among the better-reviewed games in the subscription library.
Crusader Kings 3 also stands out for longevity: it joined as a day-one release in September 2020 and exits after nearly six years, following Payday 2’s nine-year Game Pass run that ended in late June.
