A lot of great games have been added to Game Pass this month, with more titles still on the way. This year’s Dead Space remake, Cities: Skylines 2, and Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery number among the most notable additions in October, with the meditative rock climbing game Jusant and more set to arrive next week. Unfortunately, that also means that some of the older titles on Game Pass are set to leave the service at the end of the month, including one of the best horror games of the 2020s so far.

The Xbox Game Pass subscription service is rather popular. It’s a subscription service that allows players to gain access to a wide collection of video games for a monthly fee. It’s certainly one of the must-have services if you’re on the latest-generation Xbox Series X/S consoles. With this subscription service, you can access all of Microsoft’s first-party video game titles that launch. This is also an excellent saving if you’re keen on some of their big title releases, like last month’s Starfield from the folks over at Bethesda.
We get two waves of new video games added to the service each month. So, outside of first-party Microsoft games, you’ll also find video games from third-party development studios. We just had the reveal of October’s first wave of video game additions. However, while each wave will bring in new video game titles to enjoy, there is a collection of video games removed from the service. Today, with the first wave unveiled on the Xbox Wire, we have news on six video game titles that will be removed from the service later on in the month.
While first-party Microsoft titles are here to stay, third-party games are only here for a duration of time. These games will be leaving the service on October 15, 2023, so there’s still time to go and enjoy some of them. Likewise, there is an incentive to check some of these games out regardless of their time on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service is coming to an end. Microsoft provides players with a 20% discount on all these games to purchase before they are removed from the service.
Fortunately, with this discount, you can keep any of the games you’re particularly fond of within your game library. Meanwhile, if you haven’t already seen what games are coming to the service this month, you can view the first wave of additions below.
Likewise, there are also the games that were released last month. If you’re just subscribing to the service, here are the new additions from last month.

Phil Spencer confirms that Activision Blizzard games won't come to Game Pass this year: 'Now that the deal is closed, we're starting that work, but there is work'
For gamers, one of the most alluring possibilities created by Microsoft's finally-completed acquisition of Activision Blizzard is the prospect of games like Call of Duty, Diablo, and Overwatch on Game Pass. Microsoft's subscription service is already a hell of a deal, and adding annualized iterations of Call of Duty plus everything Blizzard does makes it even more attractive. And it will no doubt happen eventually, but not anytime soon: Activision said last week that its games won't arrive on Game Pass until 2024 at the earliest, and in a recent interview with the Official Xbox Podcast, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said that timeline is «accurate.»

Xbox Game Pass Will Not Include Activision Games Like Call of Duty Until 2024, Phil Spencer Explains Why
Call of Duty and other Activision Blizzard games won't appear on Xbox Game Pass until next year. On the Official Xbox Podcast, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer claimed that players wouldn't be seeing a big drop of those titles immediately, due to the lengthy regulatory challenges the company faced in its buyout attempt. Since it was uncertain whether the acquisition would be approved by Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) until recently, Xbox wasn't able to do the groundwork for adding the catalogue to their gaming subscription service. Ahead of the deal's closure, Activision Blizzard confirmed on Twitter that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and newly-launched Diablo IV won't be coming to Game Pass soon, but Spencer's statement covers older titles as well.
