Stalker 2 and Frostpunk are set to leave Microsoft's Game Pass service on 2025-11-15, giving players only a short time to play these popular titles. Game Pass periodically rotates games to maintain a fresh library, often replacing older additions with new releases.
Upcoming Titles and Departures
Recently, Game Pass introduced The Outer Worlds 2 and Ninja Gaiden 4 as day-one additions. Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is also scheduled to join soon. However, the removal of Stalker 2, a notable release from the previous year, along with the city-building game Frostpunk, highlights the regular turnover within the service.
- Stalker 2 and Frostpunk will leave Game Pass on 2025-11-15.
- Upcoming additions include Call of Duty Black Ops 7.
- Recent arrivals: The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4.
Impact on Subscribers
The departure might disappoint subscribers, especially with recent price increases. Despite Stalker 2's initial buggy launch, GSC Game World has made significant improvements and continues to support the game. The Chernobyl-based FPS offers a unique, challenging survival experience with its narrative-driven exploration.
Frostpunk, known for its post-apocalyptic city-building challenges, leaves a legacy behind as its sequel, Frostpunk 2, remains available. Other titles like Blacksmith Master, Football Manager 2024, and Spirittea are also leaving the service on the same date.
What Players Can Expect
Though Stalker 2 and Frostpunk will exit, subscribers still have access to a broad range of games spanning various genres. Microsoft's rotation model ensures that new and exciting titles regularly refresh the platform, catering to diverse gaming preferences.
