Xbox Game Pass is losing another five titles on October 31, including a game that has been part of its library for half a decade.

In addition, it's been confirmed that five games will leave Xbox Game Pass at the end of October, including the likes of Lonely Mountains: Downhill and Headbangers Rhythm Royale. These will be at least 20% off until then.

S, Xbox One, and PC subscription service, Game Pass, is adding a handful of very varied and incredible games to its library

Xbox Game Pass has had some pretty big months over the past years with drops including games like Grand Theft Auto 5, but this second half of October brings a lineup that’s going to overshadow everything before it.

You should consider playing Sifu, We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie, or All You Need is Help on Xbox Game Pass this weekend.

First announced years ago, the ability to begin streaming games you own on Xbox but that aren’t part of Game Pass will go into testing for insiders beginning in November. It’ll add another meaningful perk to the Netflix-like subscription program,

And Microsoft's decision here also seems to be part of a pattern. The company temporarily removed its $1 offer ahead of Starfield's splashy release in 2023, too. But, remember that you don't need Game Pass to play Black Ops 6. You can buy it on Steam and from the PlayStation store, too, when the game releases on October 25.

Microsoft is reportedly planning to allow gamers to stream their own titles even if they aren't in the Xbox Game Pass library.

Microsoft first stopped its $1 trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass in March last year, before bringing it back and nerfing it down to just 14 days instead of a full month. The Xbox maker then briefly removed the $1 trial just days before Starfield ’s debut in September.

Microsoft has discontinued the $1 trial offer for Xbox Game Pass just ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launch, removing a popular way for gamers to explore the service at a reduced cost.
