Xbox Game Pass is a monthly game subscription service that has garnered millions of subscribers over the past several months. It offers hundreds of games for $10 a month, and you can even bundle Xbox Live Gold with Xbox Game Pass for $15 a month.
Every month, Xbox Game Pass gets a lot of new games. However, in order to make room for those titles, older games leave the service. Today, the Xbox Game Pass app on iOS revealed that Batman: Return to Arkham, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3, Just Cause 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Snake Pass are leaving soon. Aside from last month, this has to be one of the biggest exoduses because big-name games like Batman: Return to Arkham and Rise of the Tomb Raider are departing soon.
Batman: Return to Arkham
