Xbox Game Pass subscribers who enjoy horror titles will be disappointed with the upcoming game removals. Thirteen games are slated to leave the service, some on December 15th and others on December 31st, including two notable horror experiences.
On December 15th, say goodbye to Amnesia: The Bunker, Forager, Forza Horizon 4, Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Quarry, and Tin Hearts. Then, on December 31st, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, Close to the Sun, Humankind, and LEGO 2K Drive will also be removed.
While December 31st doesn’t impact horror fans significantly, December 15th marks the departure of both The Quarry and Amnesia: The Bunker. Although not the top-tier horror games on the platform, their removal will be felt, especially following the recent departures of Hello Neighbor 2 and The Walking Dead: The Final Season at the end of November.
Subscribers can still purchase these games with a 20% discount while they remain on Game Pass. Fortunately, both games are relatively short and can be completed before December 15th. The Quarry averages 9-11 hours of gameplay, while Amnesia: The Bunker clocks in at 5-7 hours.
The Quarry: A Teen Horror Story
The Quarry follows a group of teenage camp counselors at Hackett’s Quarry who decide to throw a party on their last night of summer camp. With no kids, no adults, and no rules, things quickly take a dark turn. Hunted by bloodthirsty locals and something far more sinister, their celebratory night transforms into a fight for survival. Players control each of the nine counselors, making life-or-death decisions that shape their unique story. Each choice can lead to a character becoming the star or dying before dawn.
Amnesia: The Bunker – Survival Horror in WWI
Amnesia: The Bunker offers a truly intense horror experience. Alone in a desolate WWI bunker, armed with a single bullet, players must confront the lurking terrors in the darkness. Resource management and strategic thinking are key to survival as you navigate the claustrophobic environment, struggling to keep the lights on and escape with your life.
In conclusion, December marks the departure of several titles from Xbox Game Pass, including two horror games, The Quarry and Amnesia: The Bunker. While their time on the service is coming to an end, subscribers still have a chance to experience these thrilling narratives before they’re gone.
