You already know the law of Xbox Game Pass, to get in, you have to let go, that’s why, at the same time we learn about the new games that join the service, we also define the ones that have to leave. On the one hand, we have new arrivals to round out a 2025 year that, apart from the bad news of the price increase, has been brutal for its subscribers.

On the other hand, we’re sad about the new games that are leaving, and although we’re not facing departures as traumatic as Stalker 2, it’s true that some of them might hurt, although that’s for you to decide. As always, these games will be leaving mid-month, so this is the time you have left to play them or buy them with the additional discount for being an Xbox Game Pass subscriber.
