Xbox Game Pass is losing one of the best roguelikes of recent years
The latest batch of games heading to Xbox Games Pass has been revealed, alongside the roster of titles that will be leaving the subscription service later this month.
Chief among the soon-to-be-gone Xbox Game Pass games is Hades. The Grecian roguelite made quite a splash when it was released back in 2018, and made its way onto our best roguelike games list.

The game’s hack ‘n’ slash combat system has earnt much praise, as has its slick characterization and illustrations of various Greek gods.
Nine other games will also be removed by the end of the month, including space sim Elite Dangerous, classic point-and-click adventure Myst, and acclaimed narrative indie What Remains of Edith Finch. That last one only takes a few hours to complete and is worth dipping into if you’ve some free time before the end of the month.

A handful of new games have come to take their place. One of them is including another Greek-inspired adventure. Immortals Fenyx Rising will be the next latest Ubisoft game to be added to Game Pass, following the publisher’s partnership with Microsoft earlier this year. It's something of an exaggerated take on Breath of the Wild.
Fenyx Rising's arrival comes hot on the heels of Assassin’s Creed Origins, Watch Dogs 2, and Ghost Recon: Wildlands.
Fenyx Rising will be joined by turn-based tactics game Commandos 3, hacking puzzler Exapunks, and the upcoming interactive film Immortality. Here
