Xbox Game Pass Loses These 9 Games In October
Nine games will be removed from Xbox Game Pass on October 15, 2026, as part of the subscription service’s monthly rotation cycle. The departures include several notable titles that subscribers should prioritize playing before they leave the service.
Among the games leaving are Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, acclaimed as one of the best games of 2025 and recognized as 2025’s Game of the Year, along with A Plague Tale: Requiem. Horror fans will be particularly affected by the removal of The Casting of Frank Stone, a Dead by Daylight spin-off, as the departure coincides with October’s spooky season. Other notable titles leaving include Evil West, a monster-slaying action game, and Pacific Drive, an eerie roguelite driving experience praised for its tense atmosphere.
Xbox Game Pass, available on console, PC, and cloud platforms, regularly rotates its library with new additions and removals. While the service adds new games throughout each month in two waves, older titles periodically leave to make room for fresh content. Players interested in these departing games have until October 15 to complete them or consider purchasing them individually to retain access after they leave the subscription service.
