Original Story:
While we wait for the next lot of upcoming Game Pass games to be revealed, Microsoft has now confirmed the first batch of games leaving Xbox Game Pass in March. Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered, and Shredders will all leave Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass soon.

For those interested in tackling the Hardspace: Shipbreaker, you will need to set aside roughly 60 hours for the full completion, which includes a title update worth an additional 560G on top of the base list 1,000G. On paper, the completion here doesn't look too tricky, but you will want to check over the individual achievement guides to make sure you don't miss a couple of title update achievements. As for Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered, unlocking all achievements will take around 100 hours — most of the 100 hours will be spent trying to unlock Familiarologist and Mad Scientist, which have been flagged as time-consuming. Finally, Shredders is a relatively quick completion that will take you less than ten hours.

As for new games coming to Game Pass, we still have one straggler from the previous Game Pass announcement yet to join the service. Frenetic FPS Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun joins Game Pass in early March.
