What to prioritize before they go
If you’re deciding what to play next, Another Crab’s Treasure stands out from the list, especially for fans of souls-like action RPGs and its distinctive setting.
As for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the service removal also makes it a practical time to consider your next step—particularly if you plan to buy, since the Game Pass lineup includes an offer tied to discounted purchase options for titles on the service.

Microsoft is also expected to announce the new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in the second half of August soon. The report suggests the reveal could land as early as this afternoon or tomorrow, with an approximate target time around 15:00.
