Hurry! You Only Have a Few Days Left to Play These Great Games on Xbox Game Pass

While Game Pass is losing some heavy hitters, it’s also getting a few new games soon.

Hurry! You Only Have a Few Days Left to Play These Great Games on Xbox Game Pass

Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass is off to a disappointing start in September as the service removes a number of highly regarded games on September 15. Among those leaving is Cyberpunk 2077, which has been praised for its rich environments, wild storylines and unforgettable characters. Despite being released years after its rocky debut, Cyberpunk 2077 remains a favorite for many players.

Former CNET Editor Daniel Van Boom called the expansion "surprisingly focused and compelling," while IGN's Tom Marks described it as "kicking you into its beautiful and dazzlingly dense cityscape with few restrictions."

Other games being removed include Dead Cells, Frostpunk 2, Mullet Madjack and Superliminal. While Microsoft is adding a few games, such as Call of Duty: Cold War and roguelike deck builders, the quality of the games being removed outweighs the new additions. This leaves Xbox Game Pass with a less appealing library of games. However, there is still hope for fans, as new titles like Speedrunners 2: King of Speed, Dice a Million, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, The Royal Writ, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage, and RuneScape: Dragonwilds will be added in the coming weeks.
