Xbox Game Pass is losing 5 titles—including 3 beloved co-op games—later today, but this month has still been an overall net positive for the service.
Xbox Game Pass is losing five games later today, August 31, including three beloved co-op titles such as Borderlands 3. Despite these departures, August 2025 has turned out to be an overall net positive for the subscription service, with more titles joining than leaving Xbox Game Pass this month.
Barring occasional exceptions, Microsoft typically removes titles from its subscription library twice a month—at the beginning and midpoint. The latest such catalog rotation happened on August 16, when Xbox Game Pass lost three games: Anthem, Farming Simulator 22, and Persona 3 Reload.
Another five titles are now set to follow later today. The August 31 Xbox Game Pass departures consist of Borderlands 3, Ben 10 Power Trip, Sea of Stars, This War of Mine: Final Cut, and Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay.
