Xbox Game Pass Leak Reveals First Games Leaving in 2023

Microsoft has accidentally leaked the first five games leaving the Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate libraries in 2023. The official announcement should arrive sometime this week, but ahead of this, the list of departures for January 15 has leaked courtesy of the Xbox app, which is hard to shrug off as inaccurate. Thankfully, for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, the five departures are nothing super notable, however, there are a few games some subscribers may end up missing. 

Before January 15, all five games below are available to purchase outright to Xbox Game Pass subscribers with a 20 percent discount in case you want to continue to play any of them after they depart the subscription service or if you want to support the developers behind the games. 

Below, you can read more about each game and check out a trailer for each game as well:

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition: "Hope's Peak Academy is home to Japan's best and brightest high school students-the beacons of hope for the future. But that hope suddenly dies when Makoto Naegi and his classmates find themselves imprisoned in the school, cut off from the outside world and subject to the whims of a strange, murderous little bear named Monokuma. He pits the students against each other, promising freedom to anyone who can murder a fellow classmate and get away with it. It's up to you to find out who Monokuma really is, and why you've been taken from the world you once knew. But be careful what you wish for-sometimes there's nothing more deadly than the truth..."
