Update []: Microsoft has now begun revealing some of the games leaving Xbox Game Pass in December 2024. We'll continue to update the table (where applicable) throughout the month.
Original Story: What's leaving Xbox Game Pass in December 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 December 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 December 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 December 2022 list as well. Based on those original announcements, here's what we think could potentially leave Xbox Game Pass in December 2024:
Date It Joined Xbox Game Pass | Game | Platform |
December 1, 2022 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
December 6, 2022 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
December 6, 2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga | Console, PC, Cloud |
December 15, 2022 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
December 1, 2023 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
December 1, 2023 | SteamWorld Build | Console, PC, Cloud |
December 5, 2023 | Clone Drone In The Danger Zone | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
December 5, 2023 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
December 5, 2023 | World War Z: Aftermath | Console, PC, Cloud |
December 7, 2023 | Goat Simulator 3 (Seems unlikely?) | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
December 8, 2023 | Against The Storm | PC |
December 12, 2023 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
December 14, 2023 | Far Cry 6 (Seems unlikely?) | Console, PC, Cloud |
December 14, 2023 | Pillars Of Eternity: Definitive Edition (Seems unlikely?) | PC |
As usual, 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 December 2024. Our predictions usually turn out to be anywhere from 30%-80% correct - you never know how accurate they'll be!
Don't forget there's still a lot to come (and leave) Xbox Game Pass in November 2024 as well, with the big highlights of the month being the additions of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Stalker 2. We know of seven games that will definitely depart the service soon, and another batch of removals will be announced in about a week's time.
Which of these games do you think will leave Xbox Game Pass in November 2024? Tell us down below.

All clear this month so far! Thanks for the list, appreciated.
Wow look how extensive that list is of games we got last December. With the recent changes to gamepass I bet you we won't see nearly as many additions next month, we will be lucky to get 3 games on Ultimate.
@FraserG Pillars of Eternity seems super duper unlikely. Isn't the Pillars of Eternity IP owned by Microsoft now?
Time to get on Tin Hearts!!
A reliable source has Amnesia: The Bunker leaving on December.
It feels like WWZ was only added yesterday.
@cardcrusher29 hey man, could you send me your source, i d really appreciate that, i am looking for someone that can predict games leaving to manage time better, thanks, have a good day
@oldbosss999
Search for "Xbox Deals and Discussion cheapssgamer". The poster Bloomy has a a good record of listing the potential departures from sales data scrapped from the Xbox/MS store.
It saved my household money when somebody got a few months early to start both Atomic Hearts and LAD Ishin this year alone. I started Somerville last September or October because of Bloomy's listing.
@cardcrusher29 thank you man respect, have a wonderful week
