The start of the month usually brings several new Xbox Game Pass titles for subscribers, along with confirmation of which games will leave the subscription service in the coming days. This month, at least nine games are departing the lineup, including one of the standout releases of 2025.
Xbox has confirmed that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is among the titles leaving Game Pass on October 15. The critically acclaimed RPG was widely regarded as one of the best games of this year when it launched earlier in its run, making its departure a notable loss for subscribers who have not yet finished its campaign.
A Notable Batch of Departures
Beyond Clair Obscur, October’s removals include several titles that drew praise from critics and players alike. A Plague Tale: Requiem rounds out the list of bigger-name games leaving the service, offering fans a final window to experience its narrative-driven stealth adventure.
Inconveniently timed for horror enthusiasts during the spookiest month of the year is The Casting of Frank Stone, the interactive-film spin-off of Dead by Daylight. Players looking to revisit its chilling story will only have a few days before it departs from the catalog.

Evil West is another strong entry on the departure list, delivering a solid experience packed with monster-slaying action. Meanwhile, Pacific Drive rounds out the favorites leaving in October—a tense roguelite driving game that combined an eerie atmosphere with themes of mystery and survival when it released a few years back.
The Full List Leaving On October 15
In addition to the titles highlighted above, the complete roster of games departing Xbox Game Pass on October 15 includes Crime Scene Cleaner, Donut County, Superball, Nova Roma (Game Preview), and A Plague Tale: Requiem. Subscribers hoping to play through any of these before they leave should prioritize their queues accordingly.
The departures mark a relatively modest month for Game Pass turnstiles compared to recent history. September saw a considerably larger exodus, with 18 games leaving the service in total. That earlier batch included several heavyweight titles such as The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Sifu, and Frostpunk 2—games that drew significant attention from the community when they departed.
Looking Ahead
With October’s removals set to take effect on the 15th, players have roughly two weeks to finish any of these titles before they become unavailable through the subscription. Xbox regularly refreshes its catalog throughout the month, adding new games while older entries rotate out as part of its standard content cycle.
Subscribers who want to preserve access to their favorite departures can keep an eye on whether any of these titles return in future months or become available for separate purchase. Until then, October offers a final opportunity to dive into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the rest of its departing lineup.
