Is there a resource for seeing when games are leaving the pass? How do they announce that?

The games leaving during this month are:

Aftercharge (July 9)
Warhammer Vermintide 2 (July 10)
The Lego Movie Videogame (July 16)
Dandara (July 31)
Dead Rising 2 (July 31)
Hitman Season 1 (July 31)
Metal Slug XX (July 31)
Defense Grid: The Awakening (July 31)
Hexic 2 (July 31)
Iron Brigade (July 31)

I'm not sure that Microsoft has a specific web site / page that advises on future removals (Monkey Man may be aware of one!) but they tend to get reported by the online game news media. I sourced the above list from Polygon.

Both smartphone Xbox Gamepass App and Gamepass itself on Xbox have a ‘leaving soon’ at bottom of selection.

July 17- Night Call

July 18- MGSV, Banner Saga 3

July 25 - For the King, Killer Instinct Definitive Edition, RE4

Night Call is PC only in Game Pass?

It's only being released on PC at the moment, console versions are later.

Yup! Even I got confused about what it being on GamePass meant.

Oh well!

Oh for strawberry float's sake, PC only.

Wait I have a PC now as of yesterday. I might still pick it up.

Looks like I need to play Hitman soon.

And looks like I will be playing through Resident Evil 4 for the forty millionth time

Timespinner is on the PC Game Pass, but is also Play Anywhere. Therefore you can just download it on the Xbox - odd.https://www.trueachievements.com/n38398/timespinner-play-anywhere

Thanks for posting this. If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you just have to manually search for Timespinner in the store - I did it on the console itself - you can install it from there.

I thought it was coming to Xbox console but it wasn’t. I do have 3 months of Xbox Ultimate but I don’t have a PC!

I don’t have a PC either, but do have Game Pass Ultimate. Worked for me.

And My Axe (it worked for me too).

I don’t understand what you both mean. So the game is PC only, it’s not viewable in the Game Pass mobile app or on Game Pass on Xbox console. How have you got it, on Xbox or Mac?

Checking you’re talking about Timespinner (which is available for Xbox) and not Night Call (which isn’t available for Xbox yet)..right?

The True Achievement link above explains why this is - it’s a ‘play anywhere’ title. However, the only way to download it to the Xbox One is to search for it in the online store. I did it on the Xbox One console. When you get the game showing in the store that way, there is an Install ‘button’ rather than a price - if you have Game Pass Ultimate.

Yeah, I was talking about Night Call. Oh well!

People are going to the store and searching?

I'm confused by all of the confusion.

Seeing Night Call in the thread title I mistakenly thought it was the Night Call thread. So when people talked about how they had got the game working I was confused.

Worms WMD appears to be available now.
