Last day on Game Pass: Celeste, Crusader Kings 3, Bannerlord leave July 31
The conveyor takes as hard as it gives. July 31 is the exit date for eight Game Pass removals: Back to the Dawn, Celeste, Crusader Kings III, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, My Friendly Neighborhood, Rain World, Sniper Elite: Resistance, and Whiskerwood (PC). Most leave console, PC, and cloud together. If your save still matters, tonight is the night.

Priority queue
Celeste for the personal best (8–10 hours if you have never climbed). CK3 for the dynasty you refuse to abandon. Bannerlord for the warband that somehow still owes you denars. Rain World if you like suffering. Buy-to-keep discounts of at least 20% usually stick until the tile dies — CK3 and Whiskerwood have sat even deeper in Summer Sale pricing.
What leaving actually means
Cloud installs vanish with the license. Local installs stop launching without a purchase. Screenshot achievements, export CK3 ironman anxiety, and decide which relationship-level saves deserve a permanent shelf.
“Celeste, Crusader Kings III, and Bannerlord are among eight titles leaving Game Pass on July 31, 2026.”
