In December, it’s a massacre for Xbox Game Pass

Xbox Game Pass subscribers will soon have to give up on new games. The service offered by Microsoft is constantly being renewed and title departures are commonplace. But there are some deletions that hurt more than others. In November, the catalog was enriched with some great gems, but therefore suffered heavy losses in return. Unfortunately, this trend will continue in mid-December, much to the chagrin of players.

This time, the official Xbox website reveals that six major titles will be released in the coming weeks, without further details regarding the exact date. Horror, car racing or adventure enthusiasts therefore no longer have much time to enjoy the following games:

  • Amnesia: The Bunker (Xbox/PC)
  • Forager (Xbox/PC)
  • Forza Horizon 4 (Xbox/PC)
  • Tin Hearts (Xbox/PC)
  • Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan (Xbox/PC)
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox/PC)
  • The Quarry (Xbox)

How to keep the games that interest you?

If you’re a subscriber to the Ultimate or PC Game Pass plans, you’re in luck. These subscriptions allow you to benefit from a reduction of up to 20% on catalog titles. Thus, it is possible to buy the games that interest you at a reduced price before they leave the selection. Unfortunately, there is no other way to maintain access to these titles, but sometimes certain productions make a comeback, although this chance is not guaranteed.

How does Xbox Game Pass work?

As a reminder, Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service offered by Microsoft on Xbox and PC. Following the changes in formulas and increases announced last July, new console subscribers must now choose between Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (€17.99 per month), Xbox Game Pass Standard (€12.99 per month) or Xbox Game Pass Core (€6.99 per month).

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate gives access to the entire catalog (day one and EA Play releases) and allows players to play on console, PC and cloud. Xbox Game Pass Standard provides access to hundreds of games (except day one releases and certain titles) and allows online play. The Xbox Game Pass Core includes more than 35 games and access to online multiplayer (this is the successor to Xbox Live Gold). Finally, Game Pass PC is now billed at €11.99 and offers access to the entire catalog as well as EA Play.
