Xbox Game Pass loses 9 games this October
The Xbox Game Pass ecosystem is currently undergoing a dramatic shakeup, with a host of highly anticipated and beloved titles preparing to exit the service in the coming days. As the month turns to October, subscribers will be watching carefully as a significant collection of games depart, setting the stage for new additions and changes to the service lineup.
This month’s exodus features some truly stellar titles. Among the games making the move are the critically acclaimed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, touted as one of the best games of 2025, and the emotionally gripping adventure A Plague Tale: Requiem.
For horror enthusiasts, the departures also include The Casting of Frank Stone, a spin-off from the popular Dead by Daylight universe. While October is often associated with spooky season, this title offers a fresh, different take on tension and suspense.
Beyond the major releases, several other gems are also saying farewell to the Game Pass roster. Fans will be missing the eerie and immersive roguelite driving experience of Pacific Drive, which expertly blends tense atmosphere with deep themes of mystery and survival.
Other titles joining the outgoing list include Evil West, a solid experience that delivers monster-slaying energy, and other diverse games like Donut County and Crime Scene Cleaner.
The departure list for October 15 includes a diverse mix of experiences, from the highly anticipated Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and The Casting of Frank Stone to Pacific Drive and A Plague Tale Requiem.
Subscribers who are keen on these titles have a chance to save big, as these games will be available for purchase at a reduced price if acquired before they leave Game Pass. This offers a fantastic opportunity to secure these experiences at a discount.
