Four major games are set to leave Xbox Game Pass on August 15: Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand, MENACE, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and Firewatch. While these games won’t be available to Game Pass subscribers after that date, there is still time to complete these games before they are gone from the service. Firewatch is the shortest of the games leaving on August 15, taking only around 4 hours to complete. This short narrative adventure game released back in 2016 and has earned critical acclaim for its complex characters and enthralling mystery.
All four of these Xbox Game Pass games are on sale until August 15, so players can purchase them to gain permanent access if they’re worried about missing out when the games leave Game Pass.
