On February 16, 2025, Xbox Game Pass will bid farewell to seven games, with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night standing out as the most significant departure. This title, which was funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015, has become a haven for fans of the iconic Castlevania saga, which has been absent from video game shelves since Konami moved away from such projects.
From the creator of Castlevania, a game that seeks to replicate the sensations of that one
Bloodstained, developed by ArtPlay, has earned a special place in the hearts of the saga’s followers, thanks to its aesthetics and gameplay reminiscent of the Belmont classics. With a price of 9.99 euros, Xbox Game Pass members can purchase it at a promotional price, and the recommendation is to do so before it disappears from the service, if they don’t want to miss the opportunity to continue enjoying it.
In addition to Bloodstained, other titles leaving Xbox Game Pass include EA Sports UFC 3, Tales of Arise, and Return to Grace. Games that we fear, if you haven’t started yet, you won’t be able to enjoy by the time they leave the service.
The release of these games comes at a time when Xbox Game Pass users need to be aware of the platform’s monthly additions and removals. With the deadline approaching, players have the opportunity to finish Bloodstained and other titles before their final departure. Interested parties have limited time to take advantage of this offer and should remember that other renowned games are also joining the farewell list before February 16.
