We’re approaching New Year’s Eve, and several games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass on that day. If you’re wondering what you should play this weekend and are a Game Pass subscriber, you should give these games a shot before they leave Microsoft’s video game subscription service. Specifically, I’m highlighting two charming indie games and a bombastic crossover fighting game this week.

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle Special Edition

BlazBlue is a long-running Japanese fighting game franchise. It hasn’t managed to break out worldwide in quite the same way Guilty Gear did, but the closest it got was with BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. This game took the hardcore fighting mechanics and stunning anime-inspired visuals of the series and used it for a 2v2 tag-team crossover game. While BlazBlue characters are still part of Cross Tag Battle’s roster, it features several guest fighters from RWBY, Persona 4 Arena, Under Night In-Birth, Arcana Heart, Senran Kagura, and Akatsuki EN-Eins. It’s an eclectic mix of fighters you won’t find in any other game, so Cross Tag Battle is worth a shot if you’re a fan of any of the franchises featured in this crossover.

The PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox Cloud Gaming versions of BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle Special Edition leave Game Pass on December 31. It’s also on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
