Microsoft has confirmed that four titles will depart Xbox Game Pass on February 28. The games leaving the subscription service are Monster Train, Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and Injustice 2. Subscribers have a limited window remaining to access these titles before they rotate out of the catalog at the end of the month.
- Monster Train (PC, Console, Cloud)
- Expeditions: A MudRunner Game (PC, Console, Cloud)
- Middle-earth: Shadow of War (PC, Console, Cloud)
- Injustice 2 (PC, Console, Cloud)
Monster Train offers a distinct take on the roguelike deck builder formula. Players are tasked with defending the last remaining ember of Hell against Heaven’s angelic forces. Combat unfolds across three vertical floors of a moving train, adding a spatial strategy layer that requires careful management of unit placement and enemy progression. With more than 220 cards and five monster clans available for synergy, the game delivers a deeply tactical experience designed to keep each run feeling varied and unpredictable.
Expeditions: A MudRunner Game shifts focus from cargo hauling to scientific exploration. Set across the rugged landscapes of Arizona and the Carpathians, players lead research missions using specialized equipment such as reconnaissance drones, echo sounders, and portable anchors. The experience emphasizes preparation and precision, where terrain navigation and resource management are central to success. The challenge lies less in speed and more in overcoming environmental obstacles through careful planning.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War expands on its predecessor through the Nemesis System, which dynamically generates Orc captains who remember previous encounters and evolve over time. Players once again control Talion and Celebrimbor as they attempt to challenge Sauron’s dominance in Mordor. Large-scale fortress sieges and procedurally driven rivalries form the core of its action-focused design.
Injustice 2 combines cinematic storytelling with competitive fighting mechanics. Continuing the narrative following Superman’s fallen regime, the game introduces Brainiac as a major threat. Its Gear System allows players to customize characters visually and mechanically, adding depth to both single-player and multiplayer modes. Subscribers interested in these four experiences will need to play them before February 28, when they leave the service.
