Here is what the page “Xbox Game Pass Loses 9 Games in October, Including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and A Plagu” contains. Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass is set to remove nine games in mid-October, headlined by the acclaimed 2025 RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which departs on October 15. Other notable titles leaving the service include A Plague Tale: Requiem, the Dead by Daylight spin-off The Casting of Frank Stone, and the supernatural Western Evil West. The timing is particularly inconvenient for horror fans, as The Casting of Frank Stone exits just before Halloween, and A Plague Tale: Requiem's grim narrative would have been a fitting seasonal play.
Meanwhile, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 earned critical praise for its innovative turn-based combat and emotional story, making its removal a significant loss for the library. This follows a massive September cull that saw 18 games leave Game Pass, including The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Sifu, and Frostpunk 2.
