Xbox Game Pass Just Lost 7 Games Today
✖
Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate lost not one, not two, but seven games today across Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, and Android, including a fairly popular game. Like just about every week, Microsoft has added games to both Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate. And to bring balance to this constantly evolving library, some games have also departed the service, such as
United Goose Game, 2019 s unexpected and viral hit.
In addition to Untitled Goose Game,
Pathologic 2,
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and
Ticket to Ride are all gone as well. As you can see, nothing here is super notable other than

More specifically, subscribers on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S can now enjoy one of the greatest games of the last decade:
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. That said, the addition comes at a cost. Across PC, consoles, and Android, Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate are losing seven games at the end of the day.
Before 2020 comes to a close, Nintendo Switch owners will get one more update from Nintendo, thanks to a new Indie World livestream that promises “roughly 15 minutes of updates and new announcements” about indie games coming to Switch.
Tuesday’s Indie World stream will kick off at 12 p.m. EST/9 a.m. PST. You can stream the latest episode via YouTube above.
Nintendo’s latest episode of its Indie World series (previously known as Nindies) will surely come with a few surprises, and hopefully will deliver updates on previously announced games that we’re still waiting on, such as
Hollow Knight
