Xbox Game Pass members have less than two weeks left to play eight games leaving the service. Microsoft has confirmed the late-October departures, and all eight titles — including LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Deep Rock Galactic — leave Xbox Game Pass on October 31, 2026. Once they're gone, you'll need to buy them separately to keep playing.

Key Takeaways

• Eight games leave Xbox Game Pass on October 31, 2026, including LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Deep Rock Galactic.
• The full departure list covers console, PC, and cloud: Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Dead Static Drive, Full Throttle Remastered, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Wartales, and Wildgate.
• Game Pass members can buy departing games at a discount of at least 20% before October 31.
• The removals follow a mid-October wave, making October the second-busiest month of 2026 for Game Pass departures.

The biggest losses: LEGO Star Wars and Deep Rock Galactic

The two headline departures are LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, TT Games' nine-film epic that has been in the catalog since December 2022, and Deep Rock Galactic, the beloved co-op shooter that joined back in November 2020 and holds an 85 on OpenCritic. Deep Rock Galactic players should note the game's famously deep progression — with hundreds of hours of content, starting a fresh save now won't get you far, so focus on enjoying the co-op loop instead.

Wartales, the tactical RPG that arrived in October 2023, is another significant loss for strategy fans, while Wildgate (May 2026) is the shortest-tenured of the group at just five months. The two Double Fine remasters — Day of the Tentacle Remastered and Full Throttle Remastered — have been in the catalog since October 2020 and can each be completed in under six hours, making them realistic last-minute finishes.

How to keep the games after they leave

Game Pass members get at least 20% off most departing titles until they leave, so check the store page of any game you want to keep. Your saves and achievements carry over if you buy the game separately, meaning progress made now won't be wasted. If you're on the fence, prioritize finishing the shorter remasters and sampling LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's campaign — it's a big game, but the story missions are very achievable in the time remaining.

For context, this follows a mid-October wave that already removed nine games, tying October with July as the second-busiest month of 2026 for Game Pass departures. Microsoft has yet to reveal its Wave 2 additions for the rest of October, so the catalog could still bounce back before the month ends.
