It's a new month, which means that Game Pass's repertoire of games is due for a shake-up. The Xbox and PC gaming subscription service is getting a slew of notable new games, such as the roguelike platformer Neon Abyss 2, Napoleonic soulslike Valor Mortis, and hit multiplayer shooter Battlefield 6. More notable than the additions this October, however, may be the titles getting pulled from Microsoft's gaming membership.
Starting on Oct. 15, Game Pass members will have to say goodbye to titles like A Plague Tale: Requiem, Donut County, and Pacific Drive. The most high-profile loss on the service is undoubtedly Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the French role-playing game that swept Game of the Year awards in 2025. For an RPG, Clair Obscur is on the more conservative side: How Long To Beat estimates an average playtime of just under 30 hours if you stick to the main story. The half the fun of any good RPG is the side quests — and depending on how many you take on, Expedition 33's play time can balloon up to 69 hours.
With its gripping story of a civilization on the verge of extinction and its flashy turn-based battles, Sandfall Interactive's debut game earned widespread critical acclaim last year. The game swept all the major video game awards in 2025, and it also broke a record for being the most-played title on Game Pass that year.
If you haven't started it and have Game Pass, the clock is ticking.
