Xbox Game Pass Losing 6 Games Today

Ravenlok and five other games are leaving Xbox Game Pass later today, April 30. This wave of outgoing titles will round off an uncharacteristically busy month for Xbox Game Pass in terms of departures.

The popular subscription service removes games from its library twice a month, i.e., once every two weeks. Such catalog updates commonly compromise two or three outgoing titles. But this month marked a deviation from that pattern, with Xbox Game Pass already losing six games on April 15, with another half a dozen being set to depart later today.

And while the mid-April departures were primarily a sad day for the Xbox Game Pass horror library, this newest wave of outgoings spans a much more varied mixture of genres. Specifically, Microsoft's subscription service is now about to lose 7 Days to Die, Besiege, EA Sports NHL 22, Loot River, Pikuniku, and Ravenlok. EA's hockey sim is the sole console-only title from the latest list of departures, as well as the only one that was exclusively available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. The other five have been offered across all tiers of the service bar Xbox Game Pass Core.

Xbox Game Pass members looking to make the most of their subscriptions may still be able to beat at least one of these titles before they leave the service, even if they haven't started it yet. Going by How Long To Beat's crowdsourced data, Sectordub and Devolver Digital's Pikuniku is the briefest experience of the lot, being beatable in as little as three hours. Though it's also the game that long-time subscribers had the longest opportunity
