Cyberpunk 2077 Bidding Farewell to Xbox Game Pass This Month!

Get ready for some bittersweet news, Night City dwellers! Xbox has announced the latest wave of departures from its ever-evolving Game Pass library, and among them is a heavy hitter: CD Projekt Red’s sprawling sci-fi RPG, Cyberpunk 2077. Mark your calendars, because on September 15th, this iconic title will be leaving the service.

A Brief Stint in Night City

Cyberpunk 2077 joined the Game Pass roster back in March, meaning players have had roughly six months to dive into its neon-drenched world. This departure comes shortly after The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt also said goodbye, potentially to encourage gamers to purchase the highly anticipated next-gen remaster launching on September 29th. While a sequel is still some time away, fans can look forward to the second season of the critically acclaimed Edgerunners anime series premiering exclusively on Netflix on October 20th, which will undoubtedly reignite interest in the game and give CD Projekt Red another opportunity to capitalize on its popularity.

What Else is Leaving?

Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t the only game saying goodbye on September 15th. Here’s the full list of departing titles:

• Commandos: Origins (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Cricket 24 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Cyberpunk 2077 (Cloud and Console)
• Dead Cells (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Deep Rock Galactic Survivor (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Frostpunk 2 (PC)
• Mullet Madjack (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Spiritfarer (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Superliminal (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Train Sim World 5 (Cloud, Console, and PC)

The loss of the critically acclaimed roguelike Metroidvania Dead Cells is another significant blow for Game Pass subscribers. This indie gem remains a top-tier entry in its genre. For fans eager for more from the developers at Evil Empire, keep an eye out for their upcoming title, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, scheduled for release on October 15th. And don’t miss the chance to experience Spiritfarer, a deeply moving indie game about guiding souls to the afterlife, before it departs the service.

New Additions to Game Pass

While some titles are leaving, Game Pass is also welcoming new additions! Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War joins the lineup on September 15th. Other incoming games include Shelldiver, Speedrunners 2: King of Speed, The Royal Writ, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage, and RuneScape: Dragonwilds.
