Overview
- Microsoft confirmed Friday, October 2 that eight specific titles — including A Plague Tale: Requiem and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — are scheduled to exit Xbox Game Pass on October 15, 2026.
- The full removal list is A Plague Tale: Requiem; Clair Obscur: Expedition 33; Crime Scene Cleaner; Donut County; Evil West; Pacific Drive; The Casting of Frank Stone; and Nova Roma, with Nova Roma listed as PC-only.
- All eight departing games carry discounts of at least 20% in the Game Pass store, and subscribers can buy those discounted copies to retain access after the games leave the subscription library.
- Most of the titles will be removed from console, PC, and cloud Game Pass access, reflecting Microsoft’s routine wave-based catalog management that cycles games in and out of the service.
- The removals shorten the window for players to try or finish these games and are likely to nudge some subscribers toward buying titles and alter what content remains available as new day‑one and first‑party arrivals arrive later in October.
