With new games coming to Game Pass all the time, sadly, the old must make way for the new. Microsoft has now confirmed the second wave of games leaving Xbox Game Pass in July 2024. Venba, A Short Hike, and Train Sim World 4 will all drop out of Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on July 31.

With this wave of Game Pass casualties, we're losing two quick completions from our Game Pass easy achievements article, Venba and A Short Hike. For those interested in either of these two games, unlocking all 15 achievements in Venba takes around two hours (check out the excellent Venba walkthrough we have for more), while A Short Hike's 1,000G will take between four and five hours.

As for Train Sim World 4, estimates suggest a base list completion will take between 10 and 12 hours. If you're up for tackling this one, we have a great Train Sim World 4 walkthrough, which details how to pop each achievement on the sim's base list, as well as the achievements in some of its DLC packs.

Microsoft has also confirmed that three games, including Flintlock: Siege of Dawn and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, are coming to Xbox Game Pass in the second half of July.
