Xbox loses a massive 11 games this month after devastating switch to Game Pass Standard
EVER since Xbox announced the changes to Game Pass back in July, players have been complaining about the value of the service.
Not only did Xbox Game Pass’ price increase, but it feels like fewer games are added every fortnight.
The Phoenix Wright trilogy will leave Game Pass this month[/caption]In the past, around eight games were added to Game Pass every two weeks, now subscribers are lucky to get three.
However, this isn’t the only disappointment, as the majority of the few games that are added are new releases.
While that sounds good, Xbox removed Game Pass for Console and replaced it with Xbox Game Pass Standard, which doesn’t include new games.
Players are seeing almost 50 games removed from their Game Pass libraries as their subscriptions switch to this new tier.
Xbox players have been struck another blow as a whopping 11 games will leave Game Pass at the end of the month.
Among the list are some very highly rated games, including some big-name triple-A titles.
The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is among the incredible titles leaving Xbox Game Pass this month, and features the first three games from the beloved series.
These are point-and-click adventure games where you play as a lawyer who gathers evidence from the crime scene before you argue your case in court.
The Walking Dead series includes two more highly-rated games based on the famous post-apocalyptic zombie-filled world.
These are very story-focused titles, where the gameplay revolves around making life-or-death decisions.
Gotham Knights, a recent game set in the Batman universe will also leave this month.
Some highly-rated indie games are also on the chopping block, including Valheim and Loop Hero.
September appears to be the most disappointing month for subscribers in the history of the service.
Here are all 11 games that are leaving on September 30, 2024:
- Gotham Knights – (Cloud, console, and PC)
- Let’s Build a Zoo – (Cloud, console, and PC)
- Loop Hero – (Cloud, console, and PC)
- My Time at Portia – (Cloud, console, and PC)
