The Xbox Game Pass library is dropping four titles later today, August 15. While that is a fairly modest number of departures compared with recent months, the next batch of removals is still a notable blow to the Xbox Game Pass catalog purely on account of including Firewatch.
Firewatch Leaving Xbox Game Pass Later Today… Again
Its Second Stint on the Service Was Nearly Three Times Longer Than the First
This is not the first time Firewatch has left Xbox Game Pass. It first joined the service on December 16, 2021, before being included among the Xbox Game Pass departures for mid-December 2022. It then returned in August 2023, with its second run thus lasting nearly three times as long as the first. It is leaving the Xbox subscription catalog alongside Menace, Atlas Fallen, and Firewatch.
