The games leaving Xbox Game Pass in July 2022

Xbox Game Pass New Games

While Microsoft gives to Xbox Game Pass subscribers with one hand, adding game after game to the subscription service library pretty much every week of the year, they also have to take away with the other. Games are only added to Game Pass for so long before the end of the contract. So… what games are leaving Xbox Game Pass in July 2022?

Games leaving Xbox Game Pass | July 2022

Five games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass on 15th July, and they are as follows

  • Atomicrops (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Carrion (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Children of Morta (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Cris Tales (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Lethal League Blaze (Cloud, Console, and PC)

While none of these games are big budget AAA blockbusters, there’s still some great gaming to be had in each, and several of them launched into Xbox Game Pass on day one.

Carrion, for example, is a quirky side-scrolling reverse-horror game, in which you take control of an alien tentacle monster that’s breaking out of a tightly locked down scientific facility, rampaging through the scientists, soldiers and robots that have been keeping you in captivity.

Cris Tales Review Combat

Cris Tales, meanwhile, is a great JRPG with a time-twisting hook to the narrative and gameplay. In our 9/10 Cris Tales review, Reuben said:

“Cris Tales is an absolutely incredible homage to classic JRPGs, whilst taking care to modernise their core mechanics for modern audiences. The gorgeous visual style, superb voice acting, clever mechanics and emotive story-telling all combine together here to make an incredible title. […] Cris Tales has arguably surpassed its JRPG inspirations and absolutely deserves your time (pun entirely intended).”

Also leaving are the roguelite farming sim mashup Atomicrops and the dynastic action RPG roguelite of Children of Morta.

Can’t I just keep playing them?

Once they’ve If you’ve not played these games, but they sound interesting, you still have until 15th July to quickly try them out, or run through the few hours of bloody slaughter that Carrion provides. If any of them tickle your fancy, subscribers can then get a 20% discount while they’re still a part of the Game Pass library. On the other hand, you might prefer to wishlist them and hope to spot them in some of the many, many sales that grace every digital platform these days. Just because they’re leaving Xbox Game Pass doesn’t mean you have to never play them again (or until they return).

OK, but what new games are coming to Xbox Game Pass this month?

In July 2022, Microsoft is bringing back the some of the Yakuza games so that the entire series is now found with the Game Pass library. Alongside that there’s the day one releases of Escape Academy, PowerWash Simulator and more. Find out about the Xbox Game Pass July 2022 additions here.
