Microsoft accidentally leaked the first five games leaving the Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate libraries in 2023. The official announcement should arrive sometime this week, but before that the list of departures for January 15 was leaked courtesy of the Xbox app, which is hard to dismiss as inaccurate. Thankfully, the five departures aren’t anything special for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, but there are a few games that some subscribers might miss.
Before January 15, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can buy all five games below directly at a 20 percent discount if you want to continue playing any of them after they leave the subscription service, or if you want to support the developers behind the games.
Below you can read more about each game and also watch a trailer for each game:

He pits the students against each other and promises freedom to anyone who can murder a fellow student and get away with it. It’s up to you to discover who Monokuma really is and why you were taken from the world you once knew. But be careful what you wish for – sometimes there’s nothing deadlier than the truth…”
