Xbox Game Pass hasn't lost more titles in a single month all year
With nine departures in total, this new catalog rotation will tie the 2024 record for most Xbox Game Pass removals in a single day. The only other time Xbox Game Pass lost nine games at once was on September 30th. So far, September has also been the busiest month of the year in terms of XGP departures, with 15 total eliminations. That record is now on track to be broken, as the nine games set to leave the service later today will bring the number of removals since November 2024 to 16.
Seeing as how Xbox Game Pass only added nine new titles throughout the month of November, this month will be another net negative for its content catalog. While occasions like these used to be quite rare, the XGP library is now set to shrink for the third month in a row.
Whether this trend will continue should become clear in a few days, when Microsoft is expected to announce the first half of December 2024 Xbox Game Pass releases, as well as the December 15 wave of departures. The former group is already known to include the early access version of overthrow and Indiana Jones and the Great Circlewhich are scheduled to arrive on December 5 and 9, respectively.
