Paw Patrol Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay Is largely focused on younger audiences, who – linked to their mixed reviews – have helped it fly under the radar a bit. But when it comes to co-op games for fans of puppy-head role-franchise, it offers a consistently memorable experience. The Taspatrol Adaptation and Ben 10 Power Trip Both were added to the Xbox Game Pass in December 2021 and enjoyed the longest stint on the service of these five outgoing titles.
Xbox Game Pass added to 5 titles than it lost in August 2025
At the other end of the spectrum is Borderlands 3Who barely did it four months before he was pulled. Short Xbox Game Pass runs are not uncommon for 2K games, and this special was probably used as a way to market the upcoming edition of Borderlands 4which is scheduled to meet the market on September 12. After the upcoming departures, the Xbox Game Pass will have lost eight titles over the course of August 2025. But the month was still a total net positive for the service, with 13 new titles added.
Looking forward, the next directory update is expected on September 4, when the Xbox Game Pass will add the long -awaited long -term length Hollow Knight: Silksong. Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor Arrives on September 17, followed by the Xbox Series X/S version of Frostpunk 2 The next day. The entire Wave 1 series for September 2025 is likely to be announced on September 2, as Microsoft has historically benefited Tuesdays for such communication.
