Microsoft’sXbox Game Passsubscription service is stacked with high-quality games, though one of the highest-rated titles that fans can check out is indie hitHades. RoguelikeHadesis in fact one of the highest-rated games ever made, and so it stands as one of the best reasons to have anXbox Game Passsubscription. Unfortunately, it’s quite possible thatHadeswill actually be leaving the Xbox Game Pass lineup in the relatively near future, so those that have yet to play the game for themselves should be sure to try it out while they still can.
Before continuing, it should be stressed thatHadeshasnotbeen confirmed to be leaving the Xbox Game Pass service yet. However, a leak from earlier this year suggested thatHadeswould be removed from Xbox Game Pass in August 2022. Not only that, but Xbox Game Pass games typically stay on the service for a year at a time.Hadeswas added to Xbox Game Pass in August 2021, and so it makes sense that it would be removed soon.

The good news is that we knowHadeswon’t be removed in the middle of the month. Microsoft has only confirmedfive games to be leaving Xbox Game Pass on August 15, and luckily,Hadesisn’t one of them. However, Microsoft removes games from Xbox Game Pass in two batches, with the second wave of removals occurring on the last day of the month. It’s entirely within the realm of possibility thatHadeswill be part of the second batch of removals on August 31, but fans will have to wait a couple of weeks to find out if that’s truly the case or not.
Until an announcement is made to the contrary, the safest bet is thatHadesis likely going to be removed from Xbox Game Pass in the near future, even if it’s not pulled this month like many expect. Considering this, those that have yet to play the game should make it a point to try it out as soon as possible.Hadesis a long game to fully complete, but there should still be time to finish it before it’s pulled from Game Pass.
And those that end up enjoyingHadesbut don’t finish it before it’s removed from Game Pass should note that it’s available at a discount for a limited time. Like all othergames available on the Xbox Game Pass service,Hadescan be purchased at a 20% discount.
