Microsoft has revealed the five games that are leaving Xbox Game Pass subscription service on October 15. New games are added to Xbox Game Pass every month, but games are also removed from the service on a monthly basis. It's always disappointing when games are removed from Xbox Game Pass, but the good news is that subscribers will at least have a couple of weeks to prioritize the departures if they so choose.
Xbox Game Pass game removal occurs on two specific days each month. A batch of games is removed on the 15th of each month, and then another batch starts on the last day of each month. This was true last month, with Xbox Game Pass losing a whopping nine games to end September 2024.
It remains to be seen how many Xbox Game Pass games will be released by the end of October, but subscribers know that five games will launch in the middle of the month. It has now been confirmed Dyson Sphere Program, Everspace 2, From space, F1 Manager 2023and Contempt will all be removed from Xbox Game Pass on October 15th. As always, Xbox Game Pass subscribers have about two weeks to play the games as much as they want before they're removed, and if they want to buy the games to keep, they can do so at a discount.
List of Xbox Game Pass games leaving on October 15th
- Dyson Sphere Program (PC)
- Everspace 2 (Cloud/Consoles/PC)
- F1 Manager 2023 (Cloud/Consoles/PC)
- From Space (Cloud/Consoles/Computer)
- Scorn (Cloud/Consoles/PC)
Of these, there are a couple that subscribers may want to prioritize over the others. Everspace 2 is the highest-rated Xbox Game Pass game leaving on October 15. Everspace 2 received mostly positive reviews at the time of its release and has an overall rating of 83 according to aggregated review website OpenCritic. The other game subscribers might want to check out before it leaves a sci-fi body horror game Contemptbut not necessarily because of its quality.
Contempt reviews were mixed at best, and the game is certainly not for everyone. However, it's the kind of game that Xbox Game Pass subscribers might want to play during a spooky season, if nothing else. October is upon us, and now is the time to watch scary movies and play horror games. Contempt might scratch that itch, if nothing else. Of course, Game Pass subscribers are encouraged to check out the other games leaving the service as well, to make sure they play everything they want before they can no longer do so through their subscription.
