LEGO Star Wars, Wartales, and Deep Rock Galactic: All 8 Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass on October 31
Microsoft has updated the official "Leaving Soon" section across the Xbox app on console and PC for the second half of October 2026. On October 31, 2026, a total of eight games will depart Xbox Game Pass across Console, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Unlike quieter mid-month rotations, this Halloween cutoff removes three long-standing heavyweights from the subscription library: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, co-op phenomenon Deep Rock Galactic, and Shiro Games' open-world tactical RPG Wartales.
Full List of 8 Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass on October 31, 2026
Whether you play on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, or Cloud, here are all eight titles scheduled to leave the service at the end of October 31, along with when they joined the catalog and how long each takes to beat:
- Deep Rock Galactic (Console, PC, Cloud) - Added November 2020 (nearly 6 years in the catalog) | Endless co-op (300 to 500 hours for 1,000G completion)
- LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (Console, PC, Cloud) - Added December 2022 | 35 to 45 hours (main story), 85+ hours for 100% completion
- Wartales (Console, PC, Cloud) - Added October 31, 2023 | 40 to 50 hours (main campaign), up to 180 hours for completionists
- Day of the Tentacle Remastered (Console, PC, Cloud) - Double Fine classic | 3 to 5 hours (full 1,000G achievable in a single evening)
- Full Throttle Remastered (Console, PC, Cloud) - Double Fine classic | 3 to 5 hours (full 1,000G achievable in a single evening)
- Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (Console, PC, Cloud) - Added November 2025 | 4 to 6 hours (main story), 15 to 20 hours for 100%
- Wildgate (Console, PC, Cloud) - Added July 2025 | Crew-based PvPvE space shooter from Moonshot Games and Dreamhaven
- Dead Static Drive (Console, PC, Cloud) - Added Day One on November 5, 2025 | 8 to 12 hours (main story)
The End of an Era for Deep Rock Galactic, LEGO Star Wars, and Wartales
The biggest departure in this batch is undoubtedly Deep Rock Galactic. Having joined Xbox Game Pass in November 2020, Ghost Ship Games' four-player co-op mining shooter felt like a permanent fixture of the service. After nearly six years of shouting "Rock and Stone!" inside the procedural caves of Hoxxes IV, subscribers will either need to grab the game using their 20% Game Pass member discount before October 31 or pick it up on Steam to keep their dwarf promotions rolling.
Two massive single-player time sinks are also bowing out. Present in the library since December 2022, TT Games' LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga packs all nine mainline episodes and over 300 playable characters; while rushing the story credits in twelve days is doable at roughly 40 hours, hunting down all 1,200 Kyber Bricks before the cutoff is nearly impossible from scratch. Meanwhile, French studio Shiro Games' gritty medieval mercenary RPG Wartales is concluding a three-year run to the exact day after launching on the service on October 31, 2023.

Which Departing Games Should You Prioritize Before October 31?
If you want to clear a few campaigns and lock in full achievement completions before the end of the month, four shorter titles stand out. Double Fine Productions' beloved LucasArts point-and-click adventures, Day of the Tentacle Remastered and Full Throttle Remastered, each take only 3 to 5 hours to finish and award a fast 1,000 Gamerscore. Even though Microsoft owns Double Fine, legacy publishing and licensing agreements around the LucasArts catalog explain why both classics are rotating out.
For co-op fans, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris delivers a tight four-player isometric dungeon crawl that wraps up in around 5 hours. Finally, players looking for a fitting Halloween atmosphere still have time to experience Dead Static Drive, Reuben Games' 1980s cosmic-horror road trip often described as "Grand Theft Cthulhu", alongside Dreamhaven and Moonshot Games' crew-based space shooter Wildgate. Meanwhile, Microsoft continues to reshape its broader ecosystem beyond subscriptions, as seen with Xbox recruiting a dedicated strategist to expand physical disc releases across platforms.
My Take: Starting a fresh save in Wartales or chasing 100% in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga with twelve days left on the clock is a recipe for burnout. Instead, I strongly recommend spending two evenings with Full Throttle Remastered and Day of the Tentacle Remastered: both remain masterclasses in comedic pacing and can be completed back-to-back in under ten hours. And if your four-player squad still drops into Deep Rock Galactic every week, make sure to use the 20% member discount before October 31, because after a six-year run, it is unlikely to return to the rotation anytime soon.
