It can be very easy to see a game onXbox Game Passand feel like you’ll get around to it eventually. We all have that stack of games in our Game Pass backlog that we will play one day, but just not today as we sink a dozen more hours intoCall of Dutyor the next big obsession likeClair Obscur: Expedition 33. Unfortunately, eventually, those games we’ve been telling ourselves we’ll get around to beating leave the service, meaning we miss our chance. It is gutting, but a part of the process.

It has been available on the service for quite a considerable amount of time, during which it has consistently remained one of thebest Game Pass titlesof all time.

According toHow Long to Beat,Kunitsu-Gamiwill take you around 16 hours to complete its main story, and 21 hours to beat everything.

While, nowadays, even 16 hours can feel like a lot, the time will honestly fly by.
