Three More Games Have Quietly Vanished From the Xbox Store

Three more games have disappeared from the Xbox Store in the last few weeks, and as usual nobody got much of a heads up.

The titles are Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier, the 2018 narrative adventure, pulled on June 22 (it went earlier in Ireland, back in May 2025); Signs of the Sojourner, the well-liked 2020 narrative card game, removed this month after what looks like a dispute with the publisher; and Boom Boom Rocket, the Xbox 360 rhythm game, delisted on June 19. They follow Horizon Chase Turbo, Rec Room, and Call of Duty: Warzone for Xbox One, all of which have now left the store as well.

The reasons vary. Planet of the Apes is a licensing expiry, which is the oldest story in delisting and the one with no villain, just a contract running out. Signs of the Sojourner is a publisher dispute, and its developer says it hopes the game comes back but cannot say when. Boom Boom Rocket is the kind of small 360-era title that slips away without a press release.

What ties them together is that none of them had a physical Xbox release, which means that once the digital listing is gone, legitimate access is gone with it. There is no shelf to fall back on, no cartridge in a drawer, no disc to lend a friend. A delisting like this is not a sale ending. It is a game becoming, for practical purposes, unbuyable.

This is the part of digital ownership the storefronts never advertise. You did not buy the game, you bought a license to a listing, and the listing can be revoked by people who are not you. I keep a running eye on these because each one is small and the pile is not. If any of these three were on your wishlist, that window is shut.
