Removal times vary, but most games are typically removed near the end of the day. The next removal wave is anticipated on January 31st, with announcements expected alongside the January 2025 Wave 2 lineup, which includes Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, Eternal Strands, Sniper Elite: Resistance, and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (all day-one releases). Further updates are anticipated around the January 23rd Xbox Developer Direct.
