On the way out
A half-dozen games are about to leave the oven known as Xbox Game Pass later this month. Microsoft has revealed that six titles will leave the subscription service on September 15, headlined by Payday 3 and FIFA 23.
The soccer game signifies the end of an era, because FIFA 23 is the last entry in that series to use that name. Now, the franchise has been rebranded as EA Sports FC. Last year's game, EA Sports FC 24, will still be available on Game Pass after FIFA 23 exits later this month.
Payday 3, meanwhile, had a notorious launch roughly a year ago with serious server issues and other design problems that has led to Payday 2 remaining the far more popular game. The rollout was so bad that Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjogren was replaced. For more, check out GameSpot's Payday 3 review.
These two games will exit Game Pass with four others--Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation, Slime Rancher 2, SpiderHeck, and You Suck at Parking. Remember, Game Pass subscribers can purchase all of these titles for 20% off until they leave in mid-September.
As usual, Microsoft will add new titles to Game Pass, too. Star Trucker arrives today as a day-one release for the service, for example. Ages of Mythology: Retold will join Game Pass tomorrow, September 4, followed this month by Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, Riders Republic, and Train Sim World 5. Further additions--and removals--for Game Pass will likely be announced later this month.
