What you need to know

  • Xbox Game Pass is a monthly game subscription service from Microsoft.
  • A lot of amazing games are leaving the service soon, quite possibly the most significant departures.
  • Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and more titles will leave Xbox Game Pass soon.
  • You can purchase Xbox Game Pass on Amazon.

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 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Shenmue I & II, Thimbleweed Park, and Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition are leaving soon. Aside from last month, this has to be one of the biggest exoduses because big-name games like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are departing soon.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Now an experienced covert operative, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.

Shenmue I & II

Sega's most requested rerelease of all time finally comes to a new generation. Shenmue delivers an epic story of revenge within a unique open world that is still unrivaled in-depth and detail. Return to the epic saga that defined modern gaming. The saga begins... again.

Thimbleweed Park

In Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems. Switch between five playable characters to uncover the surreal secrets of this strange town in a modern mystery adventure game from the creators of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion. The deeper you go, the weirder it gets.

Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition

Lichtspeeris an unforgiving fast-paced lightspear-throwing simulator set in an ancient germanic future. Get ready to feel that beloved 80's arcade rush in this brutal, stylish and psychedelic adventure. Co-op mode for two players included!

However, a few games are leaving Xbox Game Pass for PC soon, too.

Titan Quest: Anniversary Edition

For its 10-year anniversary, Titan Quest will shine in new splendor. This Anniversary Edition combines both Titan Quest and Titan Quest Immortal Throne in one game, and has been given a massive overhaul for the ultimate ARPG experience.

Apocalipsis

Apocalipsis is a point-and-click adventure game, in the vain of Samorost and Machinarium, where all puzzles have a hidden meaning. With a unique artstyle inspired by 15th century engravings it tells a story about heartbreak, redemption and, quite literally, the end of the world.

I would recommend giving Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Shenmue I & II a shot before they're gone.

What do you think of these departures? Do you play any of these games? Let us know. If you do play them, be sure to purchase them because Xbox Game Pass gives you a discount on titles that are part of the subscription.
