Microsoft has announced the first wave of games leaving Xbox Game Pass in November 2025. Blacksmith Master, Football Manager 2024, Frostpunk, Spirttea, and Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl are scheduled to leave Game Pass on November 15.
As a reminder, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl debuted on Game Pass alongside its release on November 20, 2024. Therefore, the shooter will leave the subscription service almost 12 months after its release.
Notably, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl’s departure from Game Pass coincides almost exactly with the game’s PS5 release date—the GSC Game World title will arrive on Sony’s console on November 20, 2025.

The official announcement of the first Game Pass releases for November, along with confirmation of the games leaving the service mid-month, is expected any day now: November 4th, to be precise, which is tomorrow.
