Xbox Game Pass Dropping These Three Games Soon

Time Stamp: March 4, 2024 1:05 PM

Microsoft will remove three more games from Xbox Game Pass later this month. The trio of titles includes a beloved RPG developed with Studio Ghibli, a snowboarding game, and an FPS that involves searching derelict spaceships.

Spotted by Wario64 on X (formerly known as Twitter), Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is probably the biggest title leaving Xbox Game Pass on March 16. The remastered RPG from Level-5 originally arrived on the subscription service in 2022 when it first launched on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Now Playing: Hardspace: Shipbreaker – PC Release Date Reveal Trailer

The other two games are Shredders and Hardspace: Shipbreaker. The former is a snowboarding game inspired by the Amped series from the 2000s. Meanwhile, the latter sees you salvaging spaceships to assist in paying off your debt. Hardspace: Shipbreaker comes from developer Blackbird Interactive, also known for its work on Minecraft Legends and the upcoming title Homeworld 3. GameSpot confirmed on the Xbox Game Pass app that all three games will indeed be taken down from the service March 16.

Leaving Xbox Game Pass on March 16

  • Shredders
  • Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
  • Hardspace: Shipbreaker

Last week, Microsoft pulled Madden NFL 22 and Soul Hackers 2 from Xbox Game Pass. However, the service also added a good collection of titles at the end of February. For instance, Tales of Arise came to Game Pass on February 20, while Maneater arrived on February 27.
