Achievement hunters determined to get the most out of their Xbox Game Pass subscriptions will be happy to know that almost all of these soon-to-be-departed titles can be comfortably beaten in a matter of days. The only outlier is Uprising: Sandstormwhose multiplayer nature requires a significantly greater time investment.
The “Departing Soon” section of the Xbox app has historically been an incomplete source of information about incoming departures from the service. In other words, it's possible that even more titles will leave Xbox Game Pass on January 15th. The full list of upcoming removals should be confirmed along with the first wave of XGP releases in January 2025, which should be officially announced in the coming days. This announcement can happen no later than January 7th, so when Route 96– the final game in Microsoft's latest XGP shared series – is scheduled to ship to the service.
Looking at the slightly bigger picture, Xbox Game Pass has only confirmed five titles for January 2025 so far. While it's likely to receive even more during the month, it's also bound to lose more games on January 31st. The last time the service added more titles than it removed in a single month was in July 2024, making this ongoing streak of monthly net losses the longest to date. As for near-future additions to Xbox Game Pass, Route 96 will be followed by a trio of day-one releases in the form of Eternal springs, Sniper Elite: Resistanceand Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vectorall of which are due to arrive between the 28th and 31st. January.
