Once the games below are gone, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will probably never see them again as once games leave they rarely come back, with only a few exceptions. And these exceptions are reserved for very popular games. None of the games in question are of this mold.ย 

Below, you can read more about each game about to leave Xbox Game Pass, and check out a trailer for each as well. If you’re reading this weeks from now, the games aren’t “about to leave,” but already gone.

Both face overwhelming odds and make dramatic choices that will determine the shape of the future.
