What’s leaving Xbox Game Pass this month

Nine games leave Xbox Game Pass at the end of April, among them the troubled-but-intriguing Homefront: The Revolution and both OlliOlli games from Roll7.Xbox Game Pass’ library of more than 200 titles is not permanent; they come and go according to whatever agreement Microsoft has reached with the games’ publishers. For subscribers who want to continue their adventures after the titles are removed, Xbox Game Pass offers discounts of up to 20 percent off their Xbox Store price, but only until the end of the month. Homefront: The Revolution — The two games in this star-crossed series should have been no-brainer successes: shooters set in occupied, Red Dawn-esque America. Both games were sabotaged by the incompetence, excesses, and collapses of THQ and Crytek. Dambuster Studios (probably the least subtle name in game development) finished up the project with Deep Silver as publisher. Reviews praised the action, combat and weapon customization, but little about its story or purpose stood out. Homefront: The Revolution is $14.99 for Game Pass subscribers until the end of April (regularly $19.99).
