While it is not an Xbox Game Studios-published video game, Microsoft played a key role in its marketing ahead of its much-delayed release date in November 2024. It even worked with the Ukrainian studio on a 90-minute documentary that revealed the difficulty the developers faced building the game amid Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion.<\/p>\n<p>As confirmed by the Xbox app, Stalker 2 is set to leave Game Pass on November 16, 2025, alongside four other games detailed below.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"image-with-caption\" data-image-url=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/11\/03\/screenshot-2025-11-03-093646-1762165019350.png\" data-image-title=\"null\" data-image-class=\"article-image-full-size\" data-image-link=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/11\/03\/screenshot-2025-11-03-093646-1762165019350.png\" data-caption=\"Stalker%202%20is%20set%20to%20leave%20Game%20Pass%20this%20month.\"><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<h2>Games set to leave Xbox Game Pass on November 16, 2025:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl\">Stalker 2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/football-manager-2024\">Football Manager 2024<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/football-manager-2024-console\">Football Manager 2024 Console<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/blacksmith-master\">Blacksmith Master<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/frostpunk\">Frostpunk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/spirittea\">Spirittea<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s Stalker 2\u2019s exit that has caused the most kerfuffle, with some Game Pass subscribers criticizing the move a year after launch, and just ahead of the game\u2019s release on PlayStation 5 on November 20.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMicrosoft backed GSC through all the delays and even the invasion, so it\u2019s surprising they weren\u2019t able to secure a better deal,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/stalker\/comments\/1omgg67\/stalker_2_is_about_to_leave_game_pass\/\">said redditor JBishie<\/a>. \u201cI think it\u2019s a matter of principle: the game was incomplete at launch and is only now starting to resemble a finished product, yet it\u2019s being removed from the service just as the 1.7 update approaches, and with the PS5 release coming up, the timing looks especially poor.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl-official-ps5-gameplay-trailer\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Indeed, the fact Stalker 2 launched first on Xbox and PC with quite a few problems, which are only now ironed out in time for the PS5 launch, is being highlighted by those who believe the game should remain on Game Pass for a while longer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s been a year, which is a pretty standard time for non MiS games,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/stalker\/comments\/1omgg67\/comment\/nmpb4mf\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\">said VickyCriesALot<\/a>. \u201cI&#8217;m not sure why this is such a shock to people like it&#8217;s unprecedented.

It&#8217;s been in early access not a finished product so now\u2019s a great time to rip it off the service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a really bad precedent that a game stays shorter in Game Pass than we had to wait for it to launch, beyond waiting MONTHS to become properly playable patch after patch,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ZakkenKloot\/status\/1984925333204689052\">complained X \/ Twitter user @ZakkenKloot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s bad that Stalker is going,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Matty_Cs_World\/status\/1984936078235598902\">added @Matty_Cs_World<\/a>. \u201cIt was good but basically released very buggy. I don&#8217;t like that a premium subscription is just used as a beta testing area for devs. I did want to go back to the game.

In the case of Ultimate, it went up a whopping 50% to $29.99 a month. That amounts to an extra $120 a year. To justify the price hike, Microsoft upped the number of day one releases per year to 75, and added Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft+ Classics for the first time ever. There were also upgrades to Xbox Cloud Gaming streaming quality.<\/p>\n<p>As for Stalker 2 on PS5, it launches on Sony\u2019s console with full support for the DualSense controller\u2019s features, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
