Xbox Game Pass is losing A Short Hike and two more highly rated games later today, July 31. These departures will increase the total number of July 2024 Xbox Game Pass removals up to nine.
Microsoft's subscription catalog last shrunk on July 15, when Xbox Game Pass lost five titles, including The Wandering Village and Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. Prior to that, Cricket 22 left the service on July 5.
An established leaker claims that a highly popular franchise is finally planned to make its Xbox Game Pass debut in August 2024.
Its next wave of departures comprises A Short Hike, Train Sim World 4, and Venba. All three titles are scheduled to leave Xbox Game Pass on July 31, most likely near the end of the day, local time. Microsoft's subscribers should hence still have enough time to play through at least one of them. Going by critical reception, A Short Hike is definitely the biggest highlight from this rotation; with an aggregate score of 87 and a perfect 100% reviewer recommendation rate on OpenCritic, this 2019 adventure happens to be one of the highest-rated titles currently available on Xbox Game Pass.
