As Xbox announce ten games coming to Game Pass, and the cloud, six games are set to leave the service. While the removal of these games may be disappointing for some, it is worth noting established trends regarding the platform’s “stream your own games” functionality. Recently, titles that leave the general Game Pass library have often been added to this library, provided the user has purchased them.

While it’s always disappointing to see games leaving the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Cloud Gaming library, it’s important to remember that new titles are regularly added to the service. Players can look forward to the arrival of exciting new games in the near future.

Players can also save up to 20% with your membership discount to keep these games in your library! And don’t forget that a lot of the titles leaving Game Pass Ultimate do make their way into the “Stream Your Own Game” library.

As always, remember to follow us on our social media (e.g., ThreadsX (Twitter), Bluesky, YouTube and  Facebook) to keep up with the latest news.
