Mouthwashing offers a very different experience for players looking for psychological horror. Meanwhile, The Séance of Blake Manor is worth watching for mystery enthusiasts.

Xbox also lists 11 games departing across October 31 and November 10. If a title on your backlog is marked “Leaving soon,” prioritize finishing it before its removal date. Game Pass availability changes by subscription and region, so confirm the current list and any member purchase discount directly in the Xbox app.

How to check your subscription

  • Open the Xbox app or Game Pass catalog and select your platform.
  • Check whether the game is included with Ultimate, Premium or PC Game Pass.
  • Look for a “Game Preview” designation: these releases may still be in development.
  • Check the “Leaving soon” section before planning longer playthroughs.
