There seems to be over half a dozen Xbox games including the popular open world mystery game Outer Wilds, will be leaving Game Pass later this month. So if you’re a Game Pass subscriber and haven’t played yet Outer Wilds, Iron Harvest, or Secret Neighbor but, well, you don’t have much time left for that.
Every month, new games are coming to Xbox’s popular video game subscription service. It’s nice if you’re a subscriber. Sometimes these new arrivals are announced and teased by Xbox, but other times games just become appear randomly on Game Pass, which is great too. but Sometimes some games are removed from Game Pass every month. And this month – the year is coming to a close – it looks like a few more than usual are shipping.
As first discovered by Pure Xbox, at least nine Game Pass games are listed in the Coming Soon section of the app. That appears to mean they’re set to be removed later this month, with the unofficial date set for December 31, 2022. Here’s the full list!
- The Outer Wilds — Console, PC
- Scarlet Nexus — Console, PC
- Secret Neighborr — console, PC
- The pedestrian — Console, PC
- turning circle 6 — Console, PC
- Embr — Console, PC
- Gorogoa — Console, PC
- Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars — Console, PC
- iron harvest —PC
There are some really good games on this list including the fantastic space adventure, Outer Wilds. Not to be confused with the other game also set in space in Game Pass, Outer Worlds. (I still need to verify that I’m right in writing about this these two games…) I’m also sad to see 2D puzzles The pedestrian removed as I have always wanted to play this and never have. I’ll try to play it before it goes, but considering how much time I’ve had to play it beforehand…I’m not counting on it.

Of course, this hasn’t been technically confirmed by Microsoft, but in the past games that were supposed to be removed via the “Leave Soon” tab were left soon after. my city has reached out to Microsoft and Xbox to see exactly when or if all of these games will be removed, but if you really want to play turning circle 6 via Game Pass, sooner or later I would download and start playing.
Luckily, while some great games are being ripped from Game Pass, Microsoft has already added some replacement bangers earlier this month, including Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and historical point and click Buses.
