Xbox Game Pass Losing 7 Games Today

Key Takeaways

  • Xbox Game Pass is losing seven titles on November 15.
  • The forthcoming departures include two Like a Dragon games—Ishin and The Man Who Erased His Name—and Persona 5 Tactica, making this rotation particularly disappointing for RPG fans.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I must confess that the news of Xbox Game Pass losing seven titles on November 15 has left me feeling a tad deflated. Being an RPG enthusiast, this rotation seems particularly disheartening, especially with the departure of two Like a Dragon games and Persona 5 Tactica from the roster.


On November 15th, the games Dicey Dungeons and six others will no longer be available on Xbox Game Pass. This removal might be quite disheartening for role-playing game enthusiasts who are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass.

In September of 2024, Microsoft’s subscription service saw the highest number of game removals with a total of 15 titles being taken out. Over the following month, October, an additional 10 games were removed from its collection. The most recent departures included Headbangers: Rhythm Royale and four other games, which left on October 31st.

7 additional games will be added to their roster in a short while. The Xbox Game Pass departures on November 15 include two well-known JRPGs, “Like a Dragon: Ishin” and “Like a Dragon: The Man Who Erased His Name”, along with the SRPG from Atlus, “Persona 5 Tactica”. Additionally, “Goat Simulator”, “Dicey Dungeons”, “Dungeons 4”, and “Somerville” will be leaving the Xbox Game Pass library as part of the upcoming rotation.

Goat Simulator stands out as the least popular choice in this collection for Microsoft’s subscription service, not because it isn’t entertaining, but primarily due to the release of Goat Simulator Remastered on Xbox Game Pass on November 7. While the original game was accessible across all non-Core tiers of the service, its newly launched remaster is exclusive to PC Game Pass and XGP Ultimate, as it was a day-one release.

Many of the upcoming games are not easily winnable within an afternoon. The exception is Somerville, which provides approximately three hours of content as a 2022 adventure by Jumpship. Trophy collectors still have time to unlock all 11 achievements for Somerville, totaling 1,000 Gamerscore points, before this indie game departs from Xbox Game Pass. While Microsoft doesn’t typically announce specific removal times, most games are usually rotated out of their subscription service’s content catalog around midnight local time.

In approximately the next few days, we anticipate the disclosure of the titles leaving Xbox Game Pass in the second wave of this month, which is scheduled for November 30th. Additionally, the upcoming arrivals for the second wave of November 2024 will also be revealed around the same time. Among the confirmed additions are Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, set to become accessible for PC Game Pass and XGP Ultimate members on November 19th and 20th, respectively. Following these releases, the metroidvania game from Red Candle Games, titled Nine Sols, is expected to be available starting November 26th.
