Highlights
- Xbox Game Pass will soon be losing Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered, and Shredders.
- Out of these, Ni no Kuni has the best reviews and takes the longest to beat.
- On the bright side, new games like Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Lightyear Frontier, MLB The Show 24, Diablo 4, and Open Roads are coming in March.
Microsoft has yet to announce all its Xbox Game Pass plans for March 2024, but the Leaving Soon section in the app has potentially revealed three games that are being removed on March 15. Xbox Game Pass subscribers are treated to new games every month, but they also lose a handful of games every month as well. Minus some rare exceptions, Xbox Game Pass games are removed on the 15th and last day of every month.
The Xbox Game Pass removals every month are highlighted whenever Microsoft makes its Game Pass announcement. Xbox Game Pass announcements happen twice each month, shining a spotlight on the games that are on the way in the next two weeks as well as the titles that are getting the boot. It's probable that the Xbox Game Pass March 2024 Wave 1 announcement will happen on Tuesday, March 5, but in the meantime, there are three games subscribers should already expect to be leaving this month.
Xbox Game Pass Adds Sandbox Game With 'Very Positive' Reviews Today
Xbox Game Pass is ending the month on a high note, with its latest title being a massive sandbox game with nearly 100,000 positive user reviews.
The Xbox Game Pass Leaving Soon section has added Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered, and Shredders to its list. This means that it's highly likely that all three of these games will be removed from Xbox Game Pass on March 15, so subscribers should plan accordingly. As usual, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to pick up all three games at a discounted price while they're still on the service.
Xbox Game Pass Games Leaving March 15
- Hardspace: Shipbreaker
- Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered
- Shredders
Out of the three games leaving Xbox Game Pass in March 2024, the one that subscribers may want to prioritize over the others is Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered. Ni no Kuni has the highest critic rating out of the three games, and it also takes the longest to beat. Xbox Game Pass subscribers may not have enough time to get through Ni no Kuni before its removal, but they can at least try it out and potentially buy it at a discount to keep it for their digital libraries.
Luckily for fans of the franchise, the sequel is so far showing no signs of leaving Xbox Game Pass in the near future. Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom - The Prince's Edition is still on Xbox Game Pass at the time of this writing, and it has not been added to the Leaving Soon section just yet.
As far as new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in March 2024, five titles have been confirmed so far. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is joining Game Pass on March 5, followed by Lightyear Frontier and MLB The Show 24 on March 9. Finally, Diablo 4 and Open Roads are confirmed for Xbox Game Pass on March 28. So even though fans have to say goodbye to some games this month, there should still be no shortage of titles to play.
