Subscribers have just a few days left to play a final batch of titles exiting the Xbox Game Pass library. The service will remove several games on February 28, marking the end of the monthly cycle.
The departing list includes the acclaimed space exploration title Outer Wilds, the stylish action RPG Tales of Arise, and the challenging 2D platformer Celeste. Also leaving are The Legend of Tianding, Return to Grace, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Players are reminded that any purchased DLC or in-game progress will be retained, and titles can be bought at a discount before they leave.
This monthly refresh ensures the catalog remains dynamic, with new arrivals consistently introduced to fill the gaps. While these specific games are cycling out, the service continues to offer a vast and varied library of hundreds of titles across console, PC, and cloud platforms. Gamers are encouraged to check their playlists and finish any achievements in the affected games before access ends next week.
