On November 15, Xbox Game Pass will bid farewell to seven games, including titles like Coffee Talk, Ghost Song, and Football Manager 2023. It's always a bit disheartening to see games leave the subscription service, but there's still a lineup of several outstanding games available on Xbox Game Pass. The service consistently introduces new games each month, keeping the gaming catalog fresh and engaging.
Today, Game Pass is saying goodbye to five games: Gunfire Reborn, Kill It With Fire, Persona 5 Royal, Signalis, and Solasta: Crown of the Magister. Notably, Persona 5 is a major loss among these titles. It's curious that Microsoft is removing it just before the anticipated arrival of Persona 5 Tactica, set to be a day one addition to the service on November 17.
It has been announced that seven more titles are set to leave Xbox Game Pass on November 15: Coffee Talk, Exapunks, Ghost Song, Gungrave G.O.R.E, Football Manager 2023, Lapin, and Townscaper. Coffee Talk, a game centered around listening to people's problems, received positive reviews from critics for its cozy gameplay. Ghost Song, known for its eerie atmosphere and mysterious storyline, stands out as a good Metroidvania title. Its departure will notably impact fans of this genre, given the limited Metroidvania titles in the current catalog.
Among the departing titles, Football Manager 2023 is another popular game. However, fans need not worry, as Football Manager 2024 is scheduled to join the catalog on November 6, offering continued gameplay in the franchise.
Games Departing Xbox Game Pass as of November 15
The departure list for Xbox Game Pass includes Coffee Talk (available on Cloud, PC, and Console), Ghost Song (available on Cloud, PC, and Console), Gungrave G.O.R.E (available on Cloud, PC, and Console), Football Manager 2023 (available on Cloud, PC, and Console), Lapin (available on Cloud, PC, and Console), and Townscaper (available on Cloud, PC, and Console). Notably, the PC-exclusive Exapunks is also set to leave the platform. Exapunks is a puzzle hacking game that received highly positive reviews on Steam, while Gungrave G.O.R.E is a third-person shooter that didn't fare well among critics. Lapin, however, is a charming puzzle platformer where players assume the role of a rabbit leaving its home. Lastly, Townscaper is a small town-building game.
Some of these games, like Lapin and Coffee Talk, are relatively short and can be completed before their departure from Game Pass. Additionally, all departing games will have special discounted prices for purchase if gamers wish to keep them at a reduced cost.
The first half of November will introduce new titles to Xbox Game Pass, such as Thirsty Suitors and Dungeons 4 on November 9. However, the major highlight will be the release of Like a Dragon Gaiden on Game Pass. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will be launched on November 9 as a day one addition, marking the return of Kazuma Kiryu in action.
