Here’s What Might Leave Xbox Game Pass In December 2025
What’s leaving Xbox Game Pass in December 2025? Well, Microsoft hasn’t confirmed anything just yet, but based on some games that were added to the service this time last year, we can at least make a few predictions ahead of time.
We know that a lot of Xbox users want more advance notice of games leaving Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft usually gives us around two weeks right now – and don’t forget, publishers sometimes secure late deals with Microsoft to keep their games on Game Pass, even after they’ve been announced to be leaving!
So, before we take a look at the following list of potential games leaving Xbox Game Pass in December 2025, we want to stress that nothing has been confirmed yet, and this will not be a 100% accurate list by any means. Some of these games might leave, some of these games might stay, and many others might be added to the list.
The most common (but definitely not the only) trend with Xbox Game Pass seems to be that games stick around for one year, so we’ve gone back to December 2024 to look at the games that were added to Game Pass at the time. That said, we’ve also gone back to the December 2023 list as well, just to see what may potentially stick around for two years in total. Based on those original announcements, here’s what we think could potentially leave Xbox Game Pass in December 2025:

As usual, there could be plenty of additions to this list, and a few of these games might stick around on Xbox Game Pass for even longer, but it seems likely that we’ll lose at least some of these in December 2025. Our predictions usually turn out to be anywhere from 30%-80% correct – you never know how accurate they’ll be!
We still have lots to come to the service this month too, including the massive addition of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – and that’s before Xbox reveals its second November Game Pass roundup later in the month.
Which of these are you hoping will stick around for a while longer? Talk to us about these predictions down below.
