Microsoft has confirmed another rotation in Xbox Game Pass, and this time a set of truly great titles is leaving the catalog. If you like to make the most out of your subscription, you better prepare for a quick catch-up — because there isn't much time left.
These games will disappear from Game Pass on 30th November
On 30th November, the following titles will leave the service:
Barbie Project Friendship
Lords Of The Fallen
Octopath Traveler
Octopath Traveler 2
SteamWorld Build
All titles will be removed simultaneously from both console and PC versions. There will be no exceptions, no "I'll play on a different platform" — they will simply disappear from the subscription.
Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 — jRPGs that you must catch up on
The biggest loss of this rotation is undoubtedly Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler 2. These are outstanding jRPGs from Square Enix that impress with their "HD-2D" atmosphere, tactical battles, and well-written stories of eight heroes.
If you enjoy team planning, challenging encounters, and immersing yourself in classic adventures for dozens of hours — you have one last chance to play them at no additional cost.
Lords of The Fallen and SteamWorld Build — worth at least a try
Lords of The Fallen is a brutal, dark action-RPG that can seriously test the patience of fans of soulslikes. It's one of those games that "click" only after a few hours — so it's worth checking if it's something for you before it drops out of the subscription.
On the other hand, SteamWorld Build is a very successful mix of city builder and economic strategy. Light, accessible, yet capable of drawing you in for long sessions.
And if there are younger players at home, Barbie Project Friendship may turn out to be a nice, casual option for family gaming.
Last call — and 20% off before removal
Microsoft typically offers a minimum 20% discount on games leaving the subscription. If any of these titles particularly appealed to you, now is a good time to add it permanently to your library.
The November rotation is one of the more painful in recent months. While there are still plenty of great games remaining in Game Pass, losing Octopath Travelers and Lords of The Fallen is a strong blow. If you want to get the most out of your subscription — act now, as it will be too late after 30th November.
