Xbox Game Pass is losing two of its best games before the end of July as subscribers rush to play them

XBOX has come under fire recently for a series of changes to the service that have angered fans.

Not only has the price of Xbox Game Pass increased, but Xbox Game Pass for consoles has changed its name and no longer offers day one releases.

To make matters worse, Xbox announced that most of the games coming to Xbox Game Pass in July would launch on day one, pushing people to subscribe to the most expensive Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier.

If all these changes weren’t enough to upset Xbox fans, two of the best games on Game Pass will be leaving the service at the end of the month.

A short walk has an incredible 88 rating on review aggregate site Metacritic and will leave Game Pass activated July 31st.

It’s a game about traveling around a small island, helping the people who live there and enjoying the landscape.

A Short Hike is one of the coziest games around, and critics and players alike love its relaxing vibes.

Another game that leaves the service at the end of the month is 84 points Venba.

Released last year, Venba is a narrative cooking game about preparing South Indian food with your family.

Although it is more of a niche choice, Train Sim World 4 will also leave Game Pass at the end of July.

Fortunately, the first two games on this list are quite short and you should have time to finish them before they are gone forever.

It’s still disappointing to see some of the better quality games leaving the service, especially as the price has gone up.
