Xbox fans are making their voices heard: a game with a rating of 86 will not leave the platform

XBOX is updating its game library to add new games to the platform and say goodbye to some of the old ones.

In most months, fans are happy with this change and get more games to play, while the games that go away tend not to be as popular.

The games leaving Xbox Game Pass each month tend to be older games with more recent versions of smaller games that only a handful of people play.

However, in March, Xbox dropped the bombshell that the 86-rated Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch would be leaving Game Pass.

Ni no Kuni is a JRPG developed by Level 5 and created in collaboration with art from the excellent Studio Ghibli.

It is highly regarded in the gaming community, and with only two weeks to go when its departure was announced, players thought they would not have time to complete this excellent game.

Fans took to social media to express their disappointment that Ni no Kuni would be leaving Game Pass, and it appears Xbox has heard their cries.

Although Xbox has not made an official announcement, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will no longer appear on the list of games leaving Game Pass this month.

When the new Xbox Game Pass games were revealed, Xbox said three games would be leaving the service on March 15.

However, Xbox’s official blog, Xbox Wire, has changed the announcement so that only two games will be removed.

Players will still be saying goodbye to Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Shredders on March 15, but Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will no longer appear on the list.

This means that Xbox has reconsidered the game’s departure and it will be available on Xbox Game Pass in the near future.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Ni no Kuni will be available on the subscription service forever, but we do know it will be playable for at least another month.

Those interested in playing Ni no Kuni should do so now to avoid disappointment in the future.
