Microsoft has confirmed another rotation in Xbox Game Pass, and this time a really great set of titles is leaving the catalog. If you like to get the most out of your subscription, you better prepare for some quick catching up—because there is not much time left.
These games will leave Game Pass on November 30
On November 30, the following titles will leave the service:
Barbie Project Friendship
Lords Of The Fallen
Octopath Traveler
Octopath Traveler 2
SteamWorld Build
All titles will leave both the console and PC versions at the same time. There will be no exceptions, no "I'll play on another platform" — they will simply disappear from the subscription.
Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 — jRPGs You Need to Catch Up On
The biggest loss 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 thoroughly test the patience of soulslike fans. It's one of those games that "clicks" 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 a city builder and economic strategy. Light, accessible, yet capable of pulling you in for long sessions.
And if there are younger players at home, Barbie Project Friendship might turn out to be a nice, casual option for family gaming.
Last call — and 20% off before removal
Microsoft typically offers a minimum of 20% off on games leaving the subscription. If any of these titles particularly appealed to you, now is a good time to add it to your library permanently.
The November rotation is one of the more painful ones in recent months. While there are still plenty of great games remaining in Game Pass, losing Octopath Traveler and Lords of The Fallen is a significant blow. If you want to get the most out of your subscription — act now, because after November 30th, it will be too late.
