Update: Xbox has started to confirm what's leaving in January! We've updated the table accordingly.

Original story: What's leaving Xbox Game Pass in January 2024? Well, Microsoft hasn't confirmed anything just yet, but based on some games that were added to the service this time last year, we can at least make a few predictions ahead of time.

We know that a lot of Xbox users want more advance notice of games leaving Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft understandably gives us around two weeks right now - and don't forget, publishers sometimes secure late deals with Microsoft to keep their games on Game Pass, even after they've been announced to be leaving!

So, before we take a look at the following list of potential games leaving Xbox Game Pass in January 2024, we want to stress that nothing has been confirmed yet, and this will not be a 100% accurate list by any means. Some of these games might leave, some of these games might stay, and many others might be added to the list.

The most common (but definitely not the only) trend with Xbox Game Pass seems to be that games stick around for one year, so we've gone back to January 2023 to look at the games that were added to Game Pass at the time. That said, we've also added a few games from the January 2022 list as well. Based on those original announcements, here's what we think could potentially leave Xbox Game Pass in January 2024:

Date It Joined Xbox Game Pass Game Platform
January 20, 2022 Hitman World of Assassination (Leaving January 31, 2024) Console, PC, Cloud
January 3, 2023 Stranded Deep Console, PC, Cloud
January 19, 2023 Persona 3 Portable (Leaving January 15, 2024) Console, PC, Cloud
January 19, 2023 Persona 4 Golden (Leaving January 15, 2024) Console, PC, Cloud
January 20, 2023 Monster Hunter Rise Console, PC, Cloud
January 31, 2023 Inkulinati Console, PC, Cloud
January 31, 2023 JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R Console, PC, Cloud
July 5, 2023 GTA V (Leaving December 31, 2023) Console, Cloud

As we've said, there could be plenty of additions to this list, and a few of these games might stick around for Xbox Game Pass for even longer, but it seems likely that we'll lose at least some of these in January 2024. Our predictions usually turn out to be anywhere from 30%-80% correct - it can very a lot from month-to-month!

Don't forget that we've still got December to come for Xbox Game Pass, which includes this past Friday's arrival of SteamWorld Build, along with many great upcoming additions such as Far Cry 6 and Rise of the Tomb Raider!
