Summary
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate loses seven games today, including classic titles like Battlefield: Bad Company and Grid.

- Despite the loss of these games, Game Pass continues to add surprises like Remnant: From the Ashes and has 10 more games planned for December.
Today, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers are forced to say goodbye to seven games. While Xbox Game Pass is typically in the business of adding to its library, the subscription service unfortunately loses titles from time to time.
This news comes shortly after Microsoft confirmed Xbox Game Pass is losing one of its best games on December 15, Chained Echoes. Still, the subscription service has been adding plenty of quality titles as of late. In the past couple of days, Game Pass subscribers have been treated to surprise additions of newer, quality titles. Not to mention, with The Game Awards 2023 right around the corner, players are expecting to see some exciting announcements concerning Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is losing seven games today, including Anvil, Battlefield 1943, Battlefield: Bad Company, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Disc Room, Eastward, and Grid. Many of the games leaving the streaming service are part of EA Play – EA's subscription-based gaming service. EA Play has been partnered with Game Pass since the launch of the Xbox Series X/S in 2020. While many of the best EA Games on Xbox Game Pass remain, the publisher does cycle titles in and out occasionally.
Xbox Game Pass Games Leaving Today
- Anvil (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Battlefield 1943 (Console) - EA Play
- Battlefield: Bad Company (Console) - EA Play
- Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (Console and PC) - EA Play
- Disc Room (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Eastward (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Grid (Console) - EA Play
Anvil is a co-op roguelike shooter game set in an isometric space. The stylish sci-fi action game debuted back in 2021 and is available to purchase on PC, Xbox consoles, and the Nintendo Switch. Each of the Battlefield titles are classics within the FPS genre, but the servers for each will be discontinued next week. Grid, a racing title from developer and publisher Codemasters, is the last EA Play title on the list. Fortunately for fans of the franchise, however, the game's well-received follow-up, Grid Legends, remains available on the streaming service.
Disc Room and Eastward, unfortunately, were some of the better indie games on Xbox Game Pass. Disc Room is an action puzzle title in which players navigate a series of rooms, all while avoiding bullet hell-style projectiles. Eastward, on the other hand, is a charming action RPG with a pixel art aesthetic.
Again, Game Pass is constantly adding titles too. Without warning, Xbox Game Pass added two unexpected games just yesterday in Remnant: From the Ashes and its follow-up, Remnant 2. Not to mention, Microsoft has confirmed it will be adding 10 games in December, and that's not counting the surprise titles Xbox Game Pass likes to randomly drop.
