Massive Shakeup Coming to Xbox Game Pass - Prepare for the Departure of 6 Epic Games!

Highlights

Six games are set to leave Xbox Game Pass on October 15, including Eville, Overwhelm, Shenzhen I/O, The Legend of Tianding, Trek to Yomi, and Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion.

Subscribers can enjoy a 20% discount on these games before they are discontinued. However, it should be noted that these games are generally short and have received a mix of reviews from critics. The only exception is The Legend of Tianding, which received positive reviews when it was released in 2021 and may be worth considering alongside the other Game Pass choices.

The Xbox Game Pass Leaving Soon section has confirmed six games that are likely to be removed from the subscription service on October 15. Typically, games in this section are taken out on either the 15th or the last day of the month, depending on which comes first. However, there are exceptions, and some games may stay in the Leaving Soon section for a little longer. For instance, Shenzhen I/O was initially listed as one of the Xbox Game Pass games leaving soon in September. Despite this, it is still accessible on Xbox Game Pass as of October 2023. It now appears that Shenzhen I/O, along with five other games, will be leaving the Xbox Game Pass subscription service on October 15.

One of the advantages of Xbox Game Pass is the opportunity to purchase games featured on the service with a 20% discount. This discount also applies to the six games that will be leaving Xbox Game Pass on October 15. Subscribers have the next couple of weeks to try out these games and determine if there are any they would like to purchase and keep in their digital libraries. It should be noted that most of the games leaving Xbox Game Pass this month are relatively short and can be completed within a few hours. For instance, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion can be finished in a matter of hours.

Most of the games leaving Xbox Game Pass in October 2023 are short games that received mixed reviews from critics. Hence, some Xbox Game Pass subscribers may prefer to skip playing these titles and concentrate on the superior Game Pass games currently offered. The only exception among them is The Legend of Tianding, which garnered predominantly positive reviews from critics upon its initial release in 2021.
