Half of the January 2025 departures are multiplayer games. Exoprimal and Insurgency: Sandstorm are purely multiplayer shooters, while Escape Academy features a well-received co-op mode. Escape Academy also boasts the longest tenure on Xbox Game Pass, having been added in July 2022 as a day-one title.

Escape Academy Leaving, But Free Tomorrow!

Game removal times vary, but most titles leave near the end of their scheduled departure day. US subscribers have roughly 18 hours remaining to play these games. This allows ample time to complete shorter titles like Figment: Journey Into the Mind or Those Who Remain. Console players should prioritize Escape Academy, but PC gamers can claim it for free on the Epic Games Store starting January 16th.

The next wave of Xbox Game Pass removals is expected on January 31st. Departing titles will be announced alongside the January 2025 Wave 2 lineup, which includes day-one releases Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, Eternal Strands, Sniper Elite: Resistance, and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. More news is anticipated on January 23rd during the 2025 Xbox Developer Direct.
