Sign in to your TheGamer account Xbox Game Pass is preparing for one of its largest removal waves in some time, with eight titles scheduled to leave the service on November 1st. The lineup of cuts is a mix of indie cult classics and one of the most highly-rated licensed games in recent years. It also marks the first time that Double Fine’s catalog has begun cycling out since the studio’s split from Xbox Game Studios, which signals a potential shift in how legacy first‑party titles will be handled on the service. The most notable departure is Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, developed by TT Games and released in 2022. The game earned high marks on Metacritic with an 82 as critics praised its humor, presentation, and massive open worlds. Its removal is a loss for any subscribers who rely on Game Pass for family‑friendly releases. Double Fine Titles, Family-Friendly Games, And Multiplayer Gems Leaving Game Pass More Former Xbox Game Studios Titles May Begin Leaving Next Two classic Double Fine adventure game remasters are also leaving: Day of the Tentacle Remastered and Full Throttle Remastered. These departures are especially noteworthy because Double Fine’s library has remained consistently available on Game Pass since the studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2019. With a split finalized earlier last summer, this rotation suggests that other Double Fine titles, potentially including Psychonauts, Grim Fandango Remastered, and possibly even newer releases, may follow in future waves. Deep Rock Galactic, developed by Ghost Ship Games and released on console in 2020, is another major loss. The co‑op mining shooter has a dedicated community with crossplay support, and remains one of the most consistently praised multiplayer titles of the last decade. The recent Wildgate also provided sci-fi fun with your friends. Wartales, the tactical RPG from Shiro Games released in 2023, is also leaving and may be worth checking out if you're a strategy fan due to its strong reception. The remaining titles include Dead Static Drive, a 2024 indie release from Reuben Games that describes itself as Grand Theft Cthulhu, and Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris, a co‑op gem developed by Crystal Dynamics and released in 2014.
