PC Game Pass takes another hit as eight big titles leave, including Crusader Kings 3

Microsoft says eight games will leave PC Game Pass on July 31, including Crusader Kings 3, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, Celeste, Rain World, and Whiskerwood.

The removals could hit subscribers hard, especially if they want to keep playing favorites or have already invested in DLC.

To soften the blow, Microsoft is offering a temporary discount on Crusader Kings 3 through the Microsoft Store.

The news is another reminder that Game Pass libraries change frequently, so players may need to buy base games to keep access.
