More specifically, on April 16, the following Xbox Game Pass games will no longer be available with the subscription service: Soma, Amnesia: Rebirth, Amnesia: Collection, Back 4 Blood, Phantom Abyss, and Research and Destroy. 50 precent of these games are proper horror games, and you could make a case for Back 4 Blood as well. Meanwhile, the most notable game here, as far as horror fans are concerned, is no doubt Soma, a game many consider one of the horror gems of the previous console generation.ย
For now, each game remains available via Xbox Game Pass, which means each game remains available for subscribers to purchase with a 20 percent discount. This also applies to all the DLC for the games as well. Below, you can read more about each horror game leaving on April 16, and check out a trailer for each as well.ย
