As October draws to a close, Xbox Game Pass is dropping more titles, signaling the month is nearly over. Xbox has revealed the second wave of games leaving the subscription service on Oct. 31 (spooky), and while the list may be short, it includes some absolute bangers worth checking out while you can.

2026 has been a great year for Star Wars games between Galactic Racer (what other game has Biddy Blas?) and Zero Company, though before these came Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The 2022 title covers all nine main films in charming Lego style, complete with the Lego games' signature co-op fun. The Skywalker Saga is one of the best Star Wars games, full stop. Grab a friend and marathon through it; you won't regret it.

Day of the Tentacle Remastered— an angry anthropomorphic tentacle raises its fist to the sky

Alongside The Skywalker Saga, the newly independent (again) Double Fine has two point-and-click adventure games leaving the service: Day of the Tentacle Remastered and Full Throttle Remastered. Tomb Raider fans should check out the isometric Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, which is also set to leave. The rest of the games slated for removal from Game Pass on Halloween are Dead Static Drive, Deep Rock Galactic, Wartales, and Wildgate.

On Oct. 15, the first round of titles leaving Xbox Game Pass this month were removed. The biggest loss was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the turn-based RPG that was last year's GOTY darling. Here's the rest of the Oct. 15 list:

  • A Plague Tale: Requiem

  • Crime Scene Cleaner

  • Donut County

  • Evil West

  • Nova Roma

  • Pacific Drive

  • Superball

  • The Casting of Frank Stone

Game Pass is in a state of flux as Xbox CEO Asha Sharma seeks to right the company's proverbial ship. Earlier this month, Windows Central obtained an internal memo in which Sharma reiterated that Microsoft's Game Pass strategy sent Xbox into "freefall." Ongoing changes aim to make the service better value for players while avoiding a drain on company resources.
