Goat simulator can be described as the smallest loss for Microsoft's subscription service of the whole group. Not because it's not a fun game, but mainly because Goat Simulator Remastered just released on Xbox Game Pass on November 7th. Of course, the original was available on all non-core tiers of the service, while its recently debuted remaster is exclusive to PC Game Pass and XGP Ultimate because it's a day-one release.
Most of the upcoming titles cannot be beaten in one day. The only exception Somervilleas the Jumpship 2022 adventure offers about three hours worth of content. So trophy hunters still have plenty of time to unlock all 11 Somerville 1,000 Gamerscore achievements before this indie experience leaves Xbox Game Pass. As for when exactly this will happen, Microsoft never specifies an exact removal time in advance, but most titles tend to be removed from the subscription content catalog around midnight local time.
The second wave of Xbox Game Pass releases this month is expected to take place on November 30. The full list of titles should be officially announced in the coming days, along with a second wave of entries in November 2024. These are already known Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobylwhich are scheduled to be made available to PC Game Pass and XGP Ultimate members on November 19 and 20, respectively. They will be followed by the Red Candle Games metroidvania Nine salts November 26.
