Overview
- Microsoft confirmed that eight titles will leave Xbox Game Pass on October 15, 2026, and the list includes Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and A Plague Tale: Requiem.
- Most departing games are available on console, PC and cloud, while Nova Roma is listed as PC‑only and is leaving despite still being in Game Preview.
- Xbox is offering at least 20 percent discounts on all eight titles while they remain on Game Pass to allow subscribers to buy and keep them.
- Subscribers posted strong negative reactions on the Xbox Game Pass subreddit, arguing the October removals outweigh the month’s incoming slate such as Gears of War: E‑Day and may reduce perceived value.
- The removals follow Microsoft’s routine cadence of rotating catalog titles and have renewed debate over Game Pass’s content balance, pricing and whether future additions will replace high‑profile losses.
