Goat Simulatorcan be characterized as the smallest loss for Microsoft’s subscription service out of this entire group. Not because it’s not a fun game, but mainly due to the fact thatGoat Simulator Remasteredjust made its way to Xbox Game Passon November 7. Granted, the original was available across all non-Core tiers of the service, whereas its recently debuted remaster is exclusive to PC Game Pass and XGP Ultimate, on account of being a day-one release.
Most of the soon-to-be-departing titles aren’t feasibly beatable in an afternoon. The sole exception isSomerville, as Jumpship’s 2022 adventure offers roughly three hours' worth of content. Trophy hunters hence still have enough time to unlockall 11Somervilleachievementsworth 1,000 Gamerscore points before this indie experience leaves Xbox Game Pass. As for when exactly that’s going to happen, Microsoft never specifies exact removal times in advance, but most titles tend to get rotated out of its subscription content catalog around midnight local time.
The second wave of this month’s Xbox Game Pass departures is expected to take place on November 30. Its full list of titles should be officially announced in the coming days, along with the second wave of November 2024 arrivals. These are already known to includeMicrosoft Flight Simulator 2024andSTALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which are planned to be made available to PC Game Pass and XGP Ultimate members on November 19 and 20, respectively. They will be followed by Red Candle Games' metroidvaniaNine Solson November 26.
