Over the holiday break, Microsoft revealed the next batch of games set to leave Xbox Game Pass soon. Desperados III, Pandemic: The Board Game, Mount & Blade: Warband, Ghost of a Tale (Windows), and YIIK: A Postmodern RPG (Windows), will all leave Xbox Game Pass on January 16th. PUBG: Battlegrounds is also dropping out of the service on January 12th but is going free to play on the same day. Desperados IIIDesperados III and its PC Game Pass stack Desperados III (Windows) are both chunky completions that will take you around 50 hours each to complete. However, it appears that the dev console can be accessed in both versions, reducing that 50-hour estimate significantly. If you’re interested in doing this one legit, be sure to check out RSDAY’s comprehensive Desperados III walkthrough.Pandemic: The Board GameNext up is Pandemic: The Board Game, which according to estimates, takes between 12 and 15 hours to complete its base achievement list. The Pandemic God requires a significant amount of grinding, and The World Needs a Hero, and the Disease Annihaltor both look pretty tricky to unlock.]Mount & Blade: WarbandMount & Blade: Warband will take you well over 100 hours to complete, so if you want the game’s full 1,000G before it drops out of Xbox Game Pass on January 16th, you’d better get cracking. The long completion time looks largely down to some multiplayer achievements that have pretty specific requirements. To complete these, we recommend jumping into or setting up a Mount & Blade: Warband Gaming Session to work through those achievements with another player. The PC version of the game, Mount & Blade: Warband (Windows), has its own achievement stack and drops out of PC Game Pass on the same day. Ghost of a Tale (Windows)Estimates suggest it will take you around 25 hours to unlock all 20 Ghost of a Tale’s achievements. Out of the 20 achievements, 14 of them have been flagged as missable, so if you’re going for the completion, be sure to keep an eye out for achievements that you could potentially leave behind on your playthrough. YIIK: A Postmodern RPG (Windows)Another one for the PC gamers! YIIK: A Postmodern RPG (Windows) drops out of PC Game Pass on January 15th, and according to estimates, a completion will take between 20 and 25 hours. Thankfully, we have individual achievement guides for each of the game’s achievements, so if you’re looking to grab that 1,000G, be sure to check those out. PUBG: BattlegroundsFinally, PUBG: Battlegrounds is also leaving Xbox Game Pass on January 12th, though it is going free to play on the same day, so you don’t need to worry about rushing to complete this one. Which of these do you need to complete before they drop out of Xbox Game Pass next week? Let us know down in the comments!
