Here’s What Might Leave Xbox Game Pass In October 2025
What’s leaving Xbox Game Pass in October 2025? Well, Microsoft hasn’t confirmed anything just yet, but based on some games that were added to the service this time last year, we can at least make a few predictions ahead of time.
We know that a lot of Xbox users want more advance notice of games leaving Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft usually gives us around two weeks right now – and don’t forget, publishers sometimes secure late deals with Microsoft to keep their games on Game Pass, even after they’ve been announced to be leaving!
So, before we take a look at the following list of potential games leaving Xbox Game Pass in October 2025, we want to stress that nothing has been confirmed yet, and this will not be a 100% accurate list by any means. Some of these games might leave, some of these games might stay, and many others might be added to the list.
The most common (but definitely not the only) trend with Xbox Game Pass seems to be that games stick around for one year, so we’ve gone back to October 2024 to look at the games that were added to Game Pass at the time. That said, we’ve also gone back to the October 2023 list as well, just to see what may potentially stick around for two years in total. Based on those original announcements, here’s what we think could potentially leave Xbox Game Pass in October 2025:
Date It Joined Xbox Game Pass |
Game | Platform |
October 4, 2023 | Warhammer 40K: Darktide | Xbox Series X|S, Cloud |
October 24, 2023 | Cities: Skylines 2 (seems unlikely, console version still in the works for XGP) | PC |
October 31, 2023 | Jusant | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 2, 2024 | Sifu | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 7, 2024 | Mad Streets | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 10, 2024 | Inscryption | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 16, 2024 | South Park: The Fractured But Whole (seems unlikely, Ubisoft titles rarely leave XGP) | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 17, 2024 | Donut County | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 17, 2024 | MechWarrior 5: Clans | Xbox Series X|S, Cloud |
October 29, 2024 | Ashen | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 31, 2024 | Dead Island 2 (seems unlikely, console version in XGP since Feb. 2024) | PC |
April 3, 2025 | Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition (2K titles sometimes only stick around for 6 months) | Console, PC, Cloud |
April 15, 2025 | GTA 5 (2K titles sometimes only stick around for 6 months) | Console, PC |
As usual, there could be plenty of additions to this list, and a few of these games might stick around on Xbox Game Pass for even longer, but it seems likely that we’ll lose at least some of these in October 2025. Our predictions usually turn out to be anywhere from 30%-80% correct – you never know how accurate they’ll be!
We still have lots to come to the service this month too, including RoadCraft, Frostpunk 2 and more – and that’s before Xbox reveals its second September Game Pass roundup later in the month.
