The second batch of games leaving Game Pass in December has now been revealed. Both the melee-focused battle royale game Naraka: Bladepoint Deluxe Edition and the roguelike deck-building title Monster Train will leave Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on December 31.

Now, it should be pointed out that Naraka: Bladepoint went free-to-play back in July, so don't try to rush through its achievement list over the next two weeks — it will still be available to play once it leaves Game Pass. What is leaving the service, though, is the Deluxe Edition of the game, which gives Game Pass subscribers a bunch of cosmetics and other goodies. If you have yet to play the battle royale game, it might be worth downloading the Deluxe Edition and grabbing the freebies before they're removed.

As for Monster Train, estimates suggest that a completion here will take between 20 and 25 hours, so you've got plenty of time to go for the 1,000G before December 31. However, with achievements such as How to Deckbuilder, and Master of the Pyre, it does look like Monster Train could be a tough one to complete.

While it doesn't look like we'll be getting a second batch of new Game Pass titles for December, there are still plenty of games coming to Game Pass early next year, including Turnip Boy Robs a Bank and Persona 3 Reload.
