It’s a Sprint: Games Leaving Game Pass July 15th 2025 Edition
The Callisto Protocol by Striking Distance Studios and KRAFTON
I needed the Game Pass gods to be kind.
While I usually take advantage of any opportunity to jump into something I’ve been putting off–I’m already playing Dying Light 2 and Remnant 2 on a deadline (emphasis on dead, I’m very tired). Not to mention Death Stranding 2 is really good and I’m already fighting the temptation to drop all my responsibilities to deliver post-apocalyptic packages full-time.
Here is everything currently scheduled to leave the service in the next two weeks (the app hasn’t updated, if it turns out we’re losing more, I’ll fix this list as soon as I can).

I feel like I dodged a bullet with this group–or a shock baton.
Once I finish the articles that I have in progress (misc. Interviews, an SGDQ preview, and three press conference write-ups–better late than never), the plan is to go back to game dev and tutorials for the month of July. I never thought I would get to this point when I started, but I really do miss toiling away in Blender. I’m not saying I won’t be here–in fact, I consistently prove that it’s impossible for me to stay away for more than a few days at a time–but I am going to make creative endeavors a priority again.
You should, too. Making things is the best.
And it doesn’t mean anything until it does, but I’ve also been getting the urge to try streaming? One more thing that I don’t have time for.
Until we meet again, thanks for reading.
