It's time to say goodbye to more games on Xbox Game Pass! The gaming community is abuzz with the latest news as Microsoft reveals the next batch of departing titles in February 2026. But this time, it's not just one or two games—it's a whopping four!
And here's the list that has gamers talking: Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, Injustice 2, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and Monster Train. These games will be departing the Game Pass library on February 28th, leaving subscribers with a sense of urgency to complete them.
But here's where it gets challenging. These games offer a wide range of completion times and achievements. Monster Train, with its 53 achievements, can be completed in 40-50 hours, making it an achievable goal for dedicated players. However, some achievements, like scoring 50,000 points in a daily challenge, might require some luck and patience.
Expeditions: A MudRunner Game and Middle-earth: Shadow of War are more time-consuming, with completion times of 60-80 hours, excluding DLCs. Expeditions boasts achievements for completing all expeditions and repairing vehicles, while Shadow of War still has its fair share of tricky tasks. And if you're an achievement hunter, be prepared for a long journey with Injustice 2, which can take 150-200 hours to complete its base achievement list.
A controversial opinion might be that this departure of games could be a blessing in disguise for some gamers. It encourages players to dive into games they might have otherwise overlooked, creating a sense of urgency and a unique gaming experience. But for those who were already invested in these titles, it's a race against time to finish before they're gone.
So, will you be rushing to complete these games before they leave Xbox Game Pass? Or do you have a different strategy? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and let's discuss this intriguing dilemma!
