Eight games will be dropping in the latter half of Xbox Game Pass August 2022, which is three more than last month’s Wave 2 catalog. A fair number of these added titles are from ID@Xbox, expanding the subscription service’s catalog of indie games. However, what will likely be more important for subscribers is what’s leaving by August 31, as it includes a lot of highly-rated games including Hades and Spiritfarer.
