Xbox Game Pass features one of the largest and most engaging catalogs on the market, allowing subscribers to play both exclusive titles and third-party offerings from other companies. While new experiences arrive every week, others inevitably have to give way.
July has been a busy month for the subscription service, for better and worse. On the plus side, Neon White and Tchia have joined the library and are now playable at no extra charge on consoles and PC, while Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 has seen a significant boost in popularity after joining the program.
On the downside, a price increase went into effect and a new plan was announced that does not include Day 1 releases. Additionally, as previously announced, 5 games have just left the service and are no longer available at any of the tiers.

These 5 video games left Xbox Game Pass in July
Possibly the most significant loss is Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly, an acclaimed simulation where players must make many types of coffee and chat with characters to learn about their stories, problems, and so on. Thanks to its beautiful pixel art and deep storytelling, it was able to captivate players and currently boasts “extremely positive” reviews on Steam.
It’s worth remembering that this interesting title from Toge Productions arrived on Xbox Game Pass in April 2023 as a Day 1 release. So members had over a year to enjoy it for free.
Subscribers to the paid service also missed out on the chance to play Figment 2: Creed Valley, a flashy action-adventure game set in the recesses of the human mind. Likewise, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, the acclaimed real-time strategy title from Ironclad Games and Stardock Entertainment, left the library on July 15.

TOEM, the original photography game known for its beautiful black-and-white presentation, is also no longer available for free on Microsoft’s program. Finally, The Wandering Village, a cute simulator in which players must build a village on the back of a giant monster, is the fifth title to be removed from the service.
These are the games that are disappearing from Xbox Game Pass on July 15, 2024:
Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly

While the loss of these titles is disappointing, it’s worth noting that Magical Delicacy and Flock are coming to Xbox Game Pass on July 16. Both will be playable on consoles, PC, and via the cloud.
