Four games are leaving the Xbox Game Pass subscription service this month, including a popular big franchise fighting game.

The Xbox Game Pass subscription added a bunch of new games in 2020, including Xbox first party titles and indie games on launch day. But not every announcement can be about new games added to the Xbox Game Pass. Sometimes games also have to leave the service.
It has now been confirmed that four games will leave Xbox Game Pass on both computers and consoles from January 15th.

It could also be that Microsoft chose not to renew its license. Tekken 7 on Game Pass.
While Tekken 7 will be greatly missed, FTL: faster than light and My friend Pedro are jewels in their own right. CONSIDERED Tekken 7 is a game that can drive subscribers to the service based on name recognition, FTL and My friend Pedro are the types of games that current subscribers can hinder and enjoy.
