This surreal JRPG-styled game set in 1999 has college graduate Alex witnessing a woman vanish from an elevator.

Well, nothing there for me. This looks more like Games with Gold or PS+ than a GamePass list.

Which games are we losing this month?

So that email from Melissa few days ago was about PES? PES 2020 left GP and people were sad and now it returns as PES 21 Seasonal Updates.

These games are kinda meh, I got PES 2021 on PS4 to use Option Files with a USB which Xbox still doesn't allow you to do.

For anyone who has played Torchlight 3 how is it? I've wanted to get it but wasn't sure if it was good or bad.

Torchlight 3 is a bit better than at launch and still not anywhere close to the quality of 2. I might hop in to see how the console version is

I didn't realize that the games are split between PC, Cloud, and Console. I thought if a game was on one, it'll be on all 3 this whole time.

Lol I just bought Torchlight for my g/f for Xmas. Of course it ends up on Gamepass less than a month later. 😂

Nope, despite what some people like to parrot that's only always the case with 1st party games, same goes for cross-save.

That’s a bad month, I guess I could try Injustice 2 though since Tekken 7 is leaving.

It's not whole month, at least we know that The Medium is coming.

Sad to see FTL go. I don't know why they don't keep these cheap but really great indie games that got classic status on GP permanently. Seems like a bad decision. Doesn't affect me because I bought it so won't cry over it, but it's still strange.

They are treating gamepass as an extended demo / preview service.. As a way to encourage people to try and if they like, buy

A pretty generous demo since it’s the full game and it was added a year ago...

I think it’s more the agreement being made for one year and expiring.

Possibly but my comment was try to give a reason why certain titles vanish after a set period

not gonna lie, this is the worst list of new games I've seen so far.

especially funny how Tekken 7, a really good fighting game, leaves...
and Injustice 2, a fucking terrible fighting game, comes in...

lol
