Six Xbox Game Pass titles are leaving the service on January 15th, likely around midnight local time. This includes both single-player and multiplayer games, impacting subscribers who rely on Game Pass for online experiences.
The departing games are: Escape Academy
, Those Who Remain
, Exoprimal
, Insurgency: Sandstorm
, Figment: Journey Into the Mind
, and Common'hood
. Half of these are multiplayer focused, with Exoprimal
and Insurgency: Sandstorm
being entirely multiplayer. Escape Academy
features a well-received co-op mode.
Interestingly, while Escape Academy
is leaving Xbox Game Pass, it will become free on the Epic Games Store starting January 16th. This offers a silver lining for PC players.
The typical Game Pass rotation sees titles removed mid-month and at the end of the month. The next removal wave is anticipated on January 31st, with announcements expected alongside the January 2025 Wave 2 additions. Confirmed day-one releases for January 31st include Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders
, Eternal Strands
, Sniper Elite: Resistance
, and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
. Further announcements are anticipated during the Xbox Developer Direct on January 23rd.
