Xbox Game Pass Is Losing a Recent Game of the Year Winner This Month
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Xbox Game Pass is losing several notable titles on October 15, headlined by Sandfall Interactive's award-winning RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Xbox subscription rotations always bring mixed feelings, but the upcoming mid-month departure list hits harder than usual. As reported by GameRant, Sandfall Interactive's critically acclaimed turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is leaving the service on October 15. Since launching on the platform last April, the title has accumulated massive praise, including a stellar 92 average on OpenCritic and a sweep at major awards shows.
For players hoping to experience the award-winning adventure before it exits the library, a standard playthrough requires roughly thirty hours, while completionist runs push closer to seventy hours. That runtime makes it a substantial commitment for the next couple of weeks, but the pacing and narrative payoff make it worth the sprint for RPG fans who have delayed diving in.
Expedition 33 is not the only notable title rolling off the service on October 15. The departure wave also includes Ironwood's survival driving game Pacific Drive, Asobo's narrative adventure A Plague Tale: Requiem, Evil West, The Casting of Frank Stone, Donut County, Crime Scene Cleaner, Superball, and Nova Roma.
While Microsoft continues to balance the service with major additions, losing a defining critical darling highlights the transient nature of subscription gaming. Players still have time to grab a discount through member perks before the games rotate out, or add them permanently to their digital libraries.
