Xbox Game Pass lose today 7 matches while adding two more, including a Day One version.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers receive Merge & Blade and Soul Hackers 2 today, while losing the following titles: Alien: Isolation, Crown Trick, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Far: Changing Tides, Final Fantasy 13: Lightning Returns, Madden NFL 21 and Octopath Traveler.
Now, Xbox Game Pass subscribers know the general retirement schedule. Games are removed from service in the middle and at the end of each month. Obviously, February being shorter, it seems like these games are happening a little earlier than most, but the difference is only a few days.
At the same time, additions to Xbox Game Pass really can happen at any time, with new additions sometimes coinciding with removals as well.
All of the games mentioned above are taken from all versions of Xbox Game Pass, but it’s worth noting that some of these games have sequels that may be more appealing to fans elsewhere.
Octopath Traveler 2 was just released a few days ago to great reviews, while Madden NFL 21 is pretty old now. In fact, the developer and publisher are reportedly already preparing Madden NFL 24, which has reportedly been described as a game-changer for the franchise.
The 7 games coming out of Xbox Game Pass today:
- Alien: Isolation
- Crown Tower
- Dragon Ball Fighter Z
- Far: Changing the Tides
- Final Fantasy 13: Return of Lightning
- Madden NFL 21
