One of the harsher realities of the modern gaming landscape is that there is never enough time to experience every title on your backlog. Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass will once again have to reckon with this truth, as a fresh wave of titles is scheduled to exit the platform this month. Among the departures is the critically acclaimed cyberpunk narrative adventure from Jump Over the Age, Citizen Sleeper.
Citizen Sleeper is a profound, text-driven RPG that utilizes a tabletop-inspired dice mechanic to simulate the struggle of survival. Players embody a “Sleeper”—a digitized consciousness trapped within an artificial body owned by the ruthless Essen-Arp mega-corporation. After making your escape, you find yourself on “The Eye,” a sprawling, decaying space station teeming with desperate factions and unique characters all fighting for a shred of autonomy.
In our breakdown of the game, we highlighted its most compelling quality: the rare freedom to simply exist in its world without being constantly pushed toward concrete, high-stakes objectives. If that sense of atmospheric immersion appeals to you, now is the perfect time to experience this sci-fi gem before it rotates out of the catalog. Fortunately, its successor, Citizen Sleeper 2, remains available for subscribers to explore.
Beyond Citizen Sleeper, the following titles are also slated for removal:
- Creatures of Ava
- Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
- Endless Legend 2
- Goat Simulator
- Goat Simulator Remastered
- Hunt: Showdown 1896
- NHL 24
- Revenge of the Savage Planet
While April brings a wealth of new additions to the service, losing staple titles is always bittersweet. Fans of high-octane anime combat will certainly miss the expansive roster of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, while those who enjoy high-stakes tension will need to wrap up their time with the brutal survival-horror extraction shooter Hunt: Showdown 1896. For those seeking lighter fare, the chaotic antics of Goat Simulator remain a must-play, and hockey enthusiasts have just a few weeks left to hit the ice in NHL 24.
These titles are scheduled to leave the service on April 30. If you are currently in the middle of a campaign, you have until the end of the month to reach the finish line. If you find yourself wanting to keep these games in your library permanently, remember that Game Pass members can often purchase departing titles at a discount of up to 20%.
