We know that a lot of Xbox users want more advance notice of games leaving Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft understandably gives us around two weeks right now - and don't forget, publishers sometimes secure late deals with Microsoft to keep their games on Game Pass, even after they've been announced to be leaving!
So, before we take a look at the following list of potential games leaving Xbox Game Pass in October 2024, we want to stress that nothing has been confirmed yet, and this will not be a 100% accurate list by any means. Some of these games might leave, some of these games might stay, and many others might be added to the list.
The most common (but definitely not the only) trend with Xbox Game Pass seems to be that games stick around for one year, so we've gone back to October 2023 to look at the games that were added to Game Pass at the time. That said, we've also added a few games from the October 2022 list as well. Based on those original announcements, here's what we think could potentially leave Xbox Game Pass in October 2024:
| Date It Joined Xbox Game Pass | Game | Platform |
| October 4, 2022 | Chivalry 2 | Console, PC, Cloud |
| October 6, 2022 | Medieval Dynasty | Series X, Series S |
| October 13, 2022 | Dyson Sphere Program | PC |
| October 18, 2022 | A Plague Tale: Requiem | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
| October 3, 2023 | Gotham Knights | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
| October 3, 2023 | The Lamplighters League | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
| October 4, 2023 | Warhammer 40,000: Darktide | Series X|S, Cloud |
| October 12, 2023 | From Space | Console, PC, Cloud |
| October 17, 2023 | Like a Dragon: Ishin! | Console, PC, Cloud |
| October 24, 2023 | Cities: Skylines 2 (Seems unlikely?) | PC |
| October 26, 2023 | Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery | Console, Cloud |
| October 26, 2023 | Mineko's Night Market | Console, PC, Cloud |
| October 31, 2023 | Headbangers Rhythm Royale | Console, PC, Cloud |
| October 31, 2023 | Jusant | Console, PC, Cloud |
| April 3, 2024 | LEGO 2K Drive (Possible six-month XGP contract?) | Console, PC, Cloud |
As usual, there could be plenty of additions to this list, and a few of these games might stick around for Xbox Game Pass for even longer, but it seems likely that we'll lose at least some of these in October 2024. Our predictions usually turn out to be anywhere from 30%-80% correct - you never know how accurate they'll be!
We're only just getting things started for Xbox Game Pass in September 2024 as well, and we're hoping we'll still get more reveals for the current month. The likes of Riders Republic and Ara: History Untold are already confirmed.
