For all the flak that Xbox gets, the Xbox Game Pass is one thing they do right. Microsoft’s gaming subscription service allows gamers to play a multitude of titles for a single monthly fee. It’s great to have a ready library consisting of both AAA and indie games to download at any time and enjoy across consoles and PCs.

However, the issue with subscription services is that the games are not added permanently. Over time, older ones are taken off the service, so it becomes a race against time to get through the list before a game is removed. One Redditor predicts some games are going to be taken off the service soon, and one of them is a great horror title fans of the genre shouldn’t miss.

Xbox Game Pass Could Drop Some Beloved Games from its List

The prediction comes from u/mo-par, who created his post on r/XboxSeriesX. The two-picture post shows several games that the user believes will be taken off the Xbox Game Pass service in the next two weeks. The user has based his prediction on when the games were added to the service, indicating they may be old or may not have a renewed license to be on the service.

Among the games, we see titles such as Farming Simulator 22. Besiege, DayZ, Just Cause 4, Sniper Elite 5, and many more. One commenter clarifies that Massive Chalice probably won’t leave the service as it’s owned by Microsoft. Another commenter claims that many of these games have been on Xbox Game Pass for a long time, so they won’t leave. However, the previous departure of Alien Isolation contradicts this belief.

While these games have not been confirmed by Xbox, the poster has been fairly accurate with previous predictions on when games would be leaving the service. He even compiled a list of predictions that came to pass over the past few months to further solidify his credibility.

Gaming was one of my earliest passions then along came writing, and here we are. I've been in the content creation space for several years now and as gamer for even longer. From understanding the complexities of a multilayer narrative to the simply joy of "big gun go boom", my goal is to capture all the emotions in between and put them down in an engaging manner.
