Here’s What Might Leave Xbox Game Pass In December 2025
By What’s departing Xbox Game Pass in December 2025? Currently, Microsoft hasn’t verified anything, but drawing from some titles added to the service around this time last year, we can certainly formulate a few forecasts ahead of time.
A multitude of Xbox users expresses a desire for earlier notifications regarding games exiting Xbox Game Pass, yet Microsoft typically provides around two weeks of warning now – and remember, publishers sometimes arrange late agreements with Microsoft to retain their titles on Game Pass, even post-announcement!
Thus, prior to examining the ensuing list of potential games departing Xbox Game Pass in December 2025, we wish to emphasize that nothing has been verified yet, and this will not be a 100% precise list in any sense. Some titles may leave, some could remain, and numerous others might be introduced to the collection.
The most prevalent (though certainly not the sole) pattern with Xbox Game Pass appears to be that games linger for around one year, so we’ve revisited December 2024 to examine the titles that were added to Game Pass at that time. Nevertheless, we’ve also returned to the December 2023 collection too, just to consider what might possibly remain for two years in total. Based on those initial announcements, here’s our estimation of what could possibly exit Xbox Game Pass in December 2025:
| Date It Joined Xbox Game Pass | Game | Platform |
| December 1, 2023 | SteamWorld Build | Console, PC, Cloud |
| December 5, 2023 | Clone Drone In The Danger Zone | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
| December 5, 2023 | World War Z: Aftermath | Console, PC, Cloud |
| December 7, 2023 | Goat Simulator 3 | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
| December 14, 2023 | Far Cry 6 (appears unlikely?) | Console, PC, Cloud |
| December 5, 2024 | Overthrown (appears unlikely?) | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
| December 10, 2024 | Wildfrost | Console, PC, Cloud |
| December 12, 2024 | For The King 2 | Console, PC, Cloud |
| December 12, 2024 | Hunt: Showdown 1896 | Console, PC, Cloud |
As is customary, numerous additions could be made to this list, and a few of these titles may persist on Xbox Game Pass for an additional duration, but it’s plausible that we’ll part with at least some of these in December 2025. Our forecasts generally end up being around 30%-80% correct – you can never tell how precise they will be!
There are still plenty of offerings to come to the service this month as well, including the significant inclusion of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – and that’s before Xbox discloses its second November Game Pass summary later this month.
