Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft's game subscription service along the lines of Netflix. For one monthly price, you gain access to over 200 titles. However, as with any such service, certain games leave from time to time. Starting June 27 and going to June 30, a handful of games will no longer be available.
According to a report by TrueAchievements, Next Up Hero will leave Xbox Game Pass on June 27. Then, Dead Island, Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, Shadow Complex Remastered, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Zombie Army Trilogy will leave on June 30.
If you haven't played these titles already, be sure to check them out before the end of the month. We would recommend Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition and Shadow Complex Remastered because they're a lot of fun. If you haven't already subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, you can get an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $1 at the moment.
Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold in one
Xbox Game Pass gives you access to over a hundred games for one monthly fee. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also adds Xbox Live Gold to the package so you can play online with your friends. You can either get a one-month trial for $1 from the Microsoft Store or a three-month subscription for $20 through Amazon.
