Microsoft has now unveiled the first wave of games leaving Xbox Game Pass in December 2024. Forza Horizon 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Quarry, Amnesia: The Bunker, Hello Neighbor 2, Forager, Tin Hearts, and Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan will all drop out of Xbox Game Pass on December 15. Here’s hoping the next batch of games coming to Game Pass is a good one because there are some heavy losses here. Games leaving Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass in December 2024Earlier this year, Microsoft announced it was delisting Forza Horizon 4 and removing the Xbox racer from the Game Pass library. That time is now upon us, with Forza Horizon 4 being removed from the Microsoft Store and Game Pass on December 15. Unfortunately, the racing game already has five discontinued achievements, so if you’re missing those, you won’t be able to get the completion. Another big game dropping out of Game Pass on December 15 is Rise of the Tomb Raider, which, sadly, has two partly discontinued/unobtainable achievements. According to forum posts, players are seeing luck with these achievements when playing the game using Xbox Cloud Gaming, so take note, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. A completion for Rise of the Tomb Raider, excluding DLC packs, will take between 40 and 50 hours — check out the Rise of the Tomb Raider walkthrough for more on how to nab the 1,000G. For the PC gamers out there, there is a separate Windows stack of Rise of the Tomb Raider achievements available. According to estimates, unlocking all 40 of The Quarry achievements will take between 40 and 50 hours. Out of those 40 achievements, 22 have been flagged as missable, and due to the nature of the horror-adventure game, you will need multiple playthroughs to pop them all. For a helping hand with the 1,000G, give our The Quarry walkthrough a read. There is also an Xbox One-specific stack of achievements available for The Quarry. Despite being named in the second wave of November 2024’s Game Pass casualties, Hello Neighbor 2 has appeared once more on the list of games leaving Game Pass soon and is now down to drop out of the service on December 15. Our Hello Neighbor 2 walkthrough states you’ll be able to unlock all 14 achievements in the stealth game in around two hours. As for Amnesia: The Bunker, a completion here will take around ten hours if you include its free Halloween title update. Amnesia: The Bunker has a couple of interesting achievements: Toot Sweet, which asks you to complete the game faster than all developers at Frictional, and Got It In One, which requires beating the game without saving. Management game Forager has 23 achievements that will take between 40 and 50 hours to unlock. However, if you follow our Forager walkthrough, you should be able to finish this one in 15 to 20 hours — most of that time will be spent hunting down collectibles and accumulating 1,000,000,000,000 coins.Estimates suggest unlocking all 39 Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan achievements will take between 15 and 20 hours. During your playthrough, keep an eye out for numerous missable achievements peppered throughout the action-adventure — the majority are for flawlessly completing mini-games. Sadly, Tin Hearts does have one discontinued achievement, so if you’ve not yet played this one, the completion will be out of reach. As a result of that discontinued achievement, the puzzle game’s PlayStation platinum-style achievement is partly discontinued/unobtainable. So far, Game Pass has just one game confirmed for December; if you don’t count early access title Overthrown. Are you looking forward to either of these? Let us know down in the comments.
