LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Deep Rock Galactic, Wartales and five more leave Xbox Game Pass on October 31. Dates, tiers and prices before they go.

Eight games are leaving Xbox Game Pass on October 31, 2026, including LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Deep Rock Galactic and Wartales. All eight now sit in the official “Leaving soon” row of the Game Pass catalog, and all eight are currently playable on console, PC and cloud, so you have about two weeks to finish them or buy them at a member discount.

The full batch also includes Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Full Throttle Remastered, Dead Static Drive, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and Wildgate. Pure Xbox spotted the list in the Xbox app this morning, and we checked it against Microsoft’s own Game Pass catalog feed: the eight titles match exactly.

Games leaving Xbox Game Pass on October 31, 2026

Store prices below are the standard US Xbox Store prices, checked October 18, 2026 UTC, before any Game Pass member discount.

Game Leaves Platforms on Game Pass Xbox Store price (Oct 18)
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga October 31 Console, PC, Cloud Not listed on the Game Pass entry
Deep Rock Galactic October 31 Console, PC, Cloud $29.99
Wartales October 31 Console, PC, Cloud $39.99
Dead Static Drive October 31 Console, PC, Cloud $26.49
Wildgate October 31 Console, PC, Cloud $9.99
Day of the Tentacle Remastered October 31 Console, PC, Cloud $14.99
Full Throttle Remastered October 31 Console, PC, Cloud $14.99
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris October 31 Console, PC, Cloud $1.99 (90% off $19.99 until Oct 21)

Microsoft’s store data for LEGO Star Wars, Wartales and Wildgate lists the Game Pass entitlement ending at 10:00 UTC on November 1 (3am Pacific), which lines up with the October 31 date. If you play in Europe or Asia, treat the morning of November 1 as the real cut-off.

Which Game Pass tiers lose these games?

All eight appear in both the console and PC Game Pass catalogs, so Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members lose access to every one of them. The Xbox Store also offers seven of them through Game Pass Premium (all except LEGO Star Wars, whose Game Pass entry has no purchase option), so Premium members are affected too. Cloud play goes with them, since all eight are currently streamable.

Which ones to play before they go

  • LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (TT Games, Warner Bros. Games): all nine Skywalker films in one LEGO adventure. It is the biggest name here, and with a two-week window a focused run through a trilogy or two is realistic. Our LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga settings guide still covers the PC options.
  • Deep Rock Galactic (Ghost Ship Games, Coffee Stain Publishing): the four-player co-op mining shooter, first released on Xbox in 2020. Missions are self-contained, so it is easy to fit a few sessions with friends into the next two weeks.
  • Wartales (Shiro Games): a long, open-ended turn-based mercenary RPG, so start now if you want to see much of it before it goes. Our Wartales guide covers the basics.
  • Day of the Tentacle Remastered and Full Throttle Remastered (Double Fine and Shiny Shoe): remasters of two classic LucasArts point-and-click adventures, and the most compact games in this batch. Both remain available to buy on the Xbox Store at $14.99.
  • Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (Crystal Dynamics): a co-op Tomb Raider spin-off, currently $1.99 for everyone on the Xbox Store until October 21, which makes buying it cheaper than most member discounts.

Member discount: buy before they leave

Microsoft’s “Leaving soon” row carries the line “Don’t want the fun to end? Save on these games now.” Game Pass members get a discount on games in the library while they are still in it, and Pure Xbox reports discounts of at least 20% on most of this batch. The discount disappears once a game leaves, so if you plan to keep playing, buy before October 31. Achievements stay on your profile either way, and cloud saves normally carry over to a purchased copy.

What’s next

Pure Xbox expects Microsoft to announce the rest of October’s Game Pass additions over the next few days; we will cover them when they land. For everything launching on Xbox, PS5, Switch 2 and PC this week, see our new games out next week (October 19-23) roundup, and our ID@Xbox Showcase October 2026 guide for the indie games heading to the service.
