paw patrol world It was added to Xbox Game Pass in September 2025, making it the shortest service life of the upcoming wave of releases. However, it was previously available from March 2024 to February 2025, so we'll soon achieve the rare feat of leaving Game Pass twice a year. No official reasoning has been provided for this unusually short period. in fact, paw patrol world It wasn't even mentioned in the official Xbox Game Pass December 2025 catalog rotation announcement earlier this month, but the Xbox app shows it starting in late November and ending today.

Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition Last month, it was also listed on the Xbox app as leaving Xbox Game Pass on December 15th, but has since been removed from the “Leaving Soon” section. Although these incorrect listings occasionally occur and are corrected, they often indicate that the game is actually about to end. for example, MLB The Show 24 It was initially listed as departing on March 15, then de-listed, but eventually left service after just two weeks earlier this year. from the beginning hollow knight has been part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog since mid-2019, and Microsoft has likely already renewed the license several times to keep the service going.

What’s next for Xbox Game Pass

There are no more confirmed Xbox Game Pass releases for the remainder of 2025. Normally Microsoft would have announced a second monthly release by now, but for the past few years the company has been condensing its December schedule releases into a single announcement. Accordingly, the January 2026 Wave 1 lineup may not be announced until early next year. Meanwhile, two more titles are scheduled to be released this month. rotten and Let's get out of hellBoth are scheduled to depart on December 31st. It is described as a “reverse horror game” where players control monsters that haunt NPCs. rotten is the first title added to Xbox Game Pass in 2025. on the other way, Let's get out of hell is a tactical multiplayer shooting game that has been available since January 2024.
