All the Games That Left Xbox Game Pass in 2022

There are a few different subscription services available to gamers, but Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass is undoubtedly one of the best. With a wide range of titles across both consoles and PC, Xbox Game Pass can be a one-stop shop for various players with a mixture of different tastes. Last year was a decent one for the subscription service, with many new additions including Day One releases and old favorites. However, for new games to be added to Xbox Game Pass, others inevitably need to leave.

This year is set to be another strong one for Xbox Game Pass, with tons of exciting and highly anticipated titles set to join throughout 2023. With two Persona games joining in January, Microsoft is also signaling its intention to continue to challenge PlayStation and add titles that have been traditionally associated with Xbox's rival to entice players. While the variety remains strong, some great titles did end up leaving Xbox Game Pass in 2022.
