The better Xbox Game Pass gets, the harder it is to say goodbye to some of the titles that made it such a worthwhile service in the first place. However, it's that time again, and six Game Pass games will be leaving the service on console, Cloud, and PC. Fortunately, there's still some time to rush through these games before they head out.
Currently, the six titles will leave Xbox Game Pass on February 15, giving players a little under two weeks to cram in as much of these games as they can. While some of these titles have a runtime that makes beating them a pretty impossible task, most of the games leaving this month have campaigns that can be beaten in a reasonable time-frame - though players should bear in mind that some of these games might not be best enjoyed by rushing through.
Control
The mysterious, sci-fi third-person shooter by Remedy Entertainment called Control is leaving Game Pass on February 15 and is definitely one to play. Considered one of the best games of the year upon its release in 2019, Control has only gotten better with age, with new patches and DLC updates adding even more to the experience.
Thankfully, Control is a pretty easy game to complete, taking only around 12 hours to finish the main story and an extra 10 or so to grab all the collectibles. For those who want to see everything that the game has to offer, around 25 hours is needed, making completing it a more than achievable goal.
Code Vein
Widely dubbed "Anime Dark Souls" on launch, Code Vein is a little more than just a Souls-like with an anime-inspired art-style, offering some solid co-op action RPG gameplay. While the game was met with fairly mixed reviews, it does have a solid fan-base, with many pointing to the game's unique boss design and environments as reasons why a Souls fan should pick it up.
Code Vein takes around 25 hours to beat its main story, and around 34 hours to beat if side missions and other content is included. For completionists, this one is going to take a little longer, with 100% requiring around 56 hours of play-time.
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
A remaster of the original PlayStation 2 classic, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is leaving Game Pass on February 15. For Final Fantasy fans, this in an absolute must-play. The Zodiac Age introduced a whole range of features to the franchise that have since become a staple, like an open-world, a customizable Gambit system, fluid battles, and a controllable camera.
As should be expected with a Final Fantasy title, The Zodiac Age will take players around 40 hours to beat, with side content pushing the play-time to around 62 hours. To get 100% completion, players are looking at a whopping 104 hours.
The Medium
Landing on Game Pass this time last year as a day-one exclusive, The Medium is Blooper Team's latest psychological horror game. Fans of Blooper Team's previous works, Layers of Fear and Blair Witch, are sure to enjoy what The Medium has to offer. The Medium should take players just 8 hours to beat, with only an extra hour being needed to reach 100%, making it one of the quickest games to complete on this list.
Project Winter
For fans of social deception games like Among Us, Project Winter is a great alternative. Much like Among Us, the eight-player team is divided into Survivors and Traitors, with the Survivors aiming to simply escape the freezing wilds and the Traitors trying to sabotage their every move. As Project Winter is a multiplayer game, it doesn't have a story mode, so players don't need to worry about reaching an end-goal, though it does take around 25 hours to grab all the achievements.
The Falconeer
An aerial combat game that puts players in the role of a furious warbird, The Falconeer is actually a pretty solid game to tide over fans of the Ace Combat series or any other dogfighting franchise. The Falconeer should only take Xbox Game Pass users around 9 hours to beat, with another two or so needed to complete the side content present in the game. 100%ing The Falconeer is actually too difficult, taking only around 15 hours.
