Microsoft has revealed the next eight games leaving Xbox Game Pass<\/a> in early October 2026, with all of these being highlighted as “leaving soon” on the official Xbox phone app.<\/p>\n

It’s a particularly painful one this month. Our early predictions<\/a> were pretty accurate, if you ask me. We got four games spot on with Donut County<\/a>, Evil West<\/a>, The Casting of Frank Stone<\/a>, and Pacific Drive<\/a> all on the chopping block this October, but including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/a> is tres merde.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full list of games set to leave Xbox Game Pass in early October 2026:<\/p>\n

Date
\nGame
\nPlatform<\/p>\n

October 15
\nA Plague Tale: Requiem<\/a>
\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/p>\n

October 15
\nClair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/a>
\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/p>\n

October 15
\nCrime Scene Cleaner<\/a>
\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/p>\n

October 15
\nDonut County<\/a>
\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/p>\n

October 15
\nEvil West<\/a>
\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/p>\n

October 15
\nPacific Drive<\/a>
\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/p>\n

October 15
\nThe Casting of Frank Stone<\/a>
\nConsole, PC, Cloud<\/p>\n

October 15
\nNova Roma<\/a>
\nPC<\/p>\n

You’ll find discounts of at least 20% on all of these Xbox Game Pass titles until they leave on October 15th.<\/p>\n

If you’ve not tried it yet, I’d absolutely recommend giving Expedition 33 a go. It’s an all-timer, no question about it. Also, with the inclusion of the Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy<\/a> in recent months, I think if you want the full picture, perhaps consider giving Requiem<\/a> a go before it gommages too.<\/p>\n

We’re just days into October at this point and there’s lots more to come. The likes of Gears of War: E-Day<\/a> are on the way, as well as the highly-anticipated Valor Mortis<\/a>. So, be sure to check out our Xbox Game Pass guide for the month<\/a>!<\/p>\n
