NewsOfficial announcement brief

These nine games are leaving Xbox Game Pass on October 31

Deep Rock Galactic, three classic LucasArts adventures and six more are on Xbox's departure list.

Xbox's October 20 Game Pass update lists nine games leaving the subscription catalogue on 31 October 2026. If you've been putting off one of them, this is the date to check your access rather than assuming it'll stay available through November.

The nine games

  • Day of the Tentacle Remastered
  • Dead Static Drive
  • Deep Rock Galactic
  • Full Throttle Remastered
  • Grim Fandango Remastered
  • Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
  • LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
  • Wartales
  • Wildgate

This is Xbox's published departure list, not a list of games being removed from digital storefronts. A game leaving Game Pass doesn't necessarily mean it can no longer be purchased and played.

Which should you try first?

For people who want something that can be sampled without a huge time commitment, the three LucasArts remasters—Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango—offer distinct takes on classic adventure storytelling. If you've already been progressing through the cooperative mining of Deep Rock Galactic or a campaign in Wartales, check your unfinished save before the subscription window closes.

One more date: November 10

Xbox's same announcement separately names Football Manager 26 and Football Manager 26 – Console Edition for November 10 departure. That is a different deadline, not part of the October 31 group.

What to check: Availability varies by subscription tier, platform and region. Visit the official Game Pass catalogue or your console/app for your actual entitlement. The announcement doesn't provide an Australian removal hour; don't infer one from the date.
