Today marks the final opportunity to enjoy Soul Hackers 2 on Xbox Game Pass. To bid farewell, the popular Atlus RPG is being offered at a generous 70% discount, available for a limited time to both subscribers and non-subscribers alike.
Microsoft's subscription service has a track record of consistent growth, regularly introducing new titles with minimal gaps between releases. Conversely, the removal of games follows a predictable pattern, typically occurring twice a month - in the middle and at the end. The most recent round of departures took place on February 15, with Galactic Civilizations 3 and Opus: Echo of Starsong exiting Xbox Game Pass.

Two weeks later, Soul Hackers 2's time on Xbox Game Pass is almost up. Originally released in August 2022, Atlus's RPG made its way to Microsoft's subscription library six months later. Its stint as part of the XGP catalog will end up being a year long, which is fairly typical for Sega-published titles that end up on the service. Another platform convention is to hold sales for outgoing Xbox Game Pass titles. This tradition has now continued quite generously, as Soul Hackers 2 is currently available at 70% off on the Microsoft Store, bringing it to its lowest-ever price of $17.99.

The Digital Premium Edition of the game is now priced at $26.99, providing a savings of $63. It's important to note that this version of the RPG is different from the Deluxe Edition, which has less content and is not currently discounted. The 70% off deal for Soul Hackers 2 will be available until 9pm ET on February 29. The Xbox PC app indicates that the game may be removed from the subscription service at midnight, but this is likely just an estimate. Historically, Xbox Game Pass titles can be taken down at any time on their scheduled removal date.

The platform is expected to announce its next wave of departures early next month, possibly by the end of the week. These upcoming removals are anticipated to take place on March 15 or 16. Soul Hackers 2 is not the only Atlus title to leave the platform recently, with Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden also being removed from Xbox Game Pass in January.
Microsoft subscribers who have not yet begun playing the RPG Soul Hackers 2 will struggle to finish it before it leaves Xbox Game Pass. It typically takes around 50 hours to complete the game, but those aiming to unlock all achievements and content may spend up to 80 hours on it.
Editor's P/S:
The departure of Soul Hackers 2 from Xbox Game Pass marks a bittersweet moment for gamers. On one hand, it offers a generous opportunity to acquire the game at a heavily discounted price, making it accessible to a wider audience. The 70% off sale is an exceptional deal, bringing the game to its lowest price ever. It's a testament to the quality of the game and the value Microsoft sees in partnering with renowned developers like Atlus.
However, the impending removal of Soul Hackers 2 also serves as a reminder of the transient nature of games on subscription services. While Xbox Game Pass provides a constant stream of new experiences, it can be disheartening to see beloved titles leave the catalog. For those who have yet to delve into Soul Hackers 2, it's a race against time to experience its captivating gameplay and engaging story before it vanishes from the service.
