Xbox Game Pass will lose a ton of high-quality games on August 31, including some of the best co-op games on the service.
August 31 is going to be a tough day for xbox game pass subscribers, as it will mark the last day they will be able to access some of the best games on the service. On August 31, a whopping 10 games will leave the Xbox Game Pass lineup, including critically acclaimed titles like hell Y What remains of Edith Finch.
The 10 games coming out of Xbox Game Pass on August 31 will definitely hurt, but co-op players may be especially bummed out. The good news is that most of the games coming out of Xbox Game Pass on August 31 are not cooperative games, but single-player experiences. The bad news is that the two co-op games being removed from Xbox Game Pass on August 31 are two of the strongest co-op experiences on the service.
Here’s why August 31 is going to be a tough day for Xbox Game Pass subscribers who like co-op gaming.

The two Xbox Game Pass games with co-op that will be removed on August 31 are spiritual traveler Y World War Z. In spiritual traveler cooperative, one player takes on the role of a girl named Stella, who is tasked with transporting souls to the afterlife, and the other plays as her cat Daffodil. Even though Daffodil is a cat, the second player in spiritual traveler he’s not really treated like a second-class citizen like he might be in other games. They can do almost everything that the Stella player can do, with a few exceptions. It’s a relaxing cooperative experience similar to stardew valleyand it’s definitely sad to see him go.
World War Zmeanwhile, it’s an action-packed co-op experience that has more in common with Left 4 Dead that stardew valley. As one might have guessed, World War Z is a shooting game in which players kill relentless hordes of the undead. Up to four players can team up online to slay zombies, and while it garnered mixed reviews, especially compared to spiritual traveler, World War Z can still be a lot of fun with friends. And now that the game is removed from Xbox Game Pass, it means that it will be more difficult for players to organize co-op sessions, since they will now have to buy the game to play it on Xbox.
On the plus side, Xbox Game Pass games are available for 20% off while they’re still on the service, so those who want to keep spiritual traveler either World War Z because your collections can do it without breaking the bank.
