Update (Mon 6th Nov, 2023): Microsoft has begun revealing the list of departures for Xbox Game Pass in November 2023, and therefore we've updated the table below with the latest confirmed removals.
Original story (Sat 7th Oct, 2023): What's leaving Xbox Game Pass in November 2023? Well, Microsoft hasn't confirmed anything just yet, but based on some games that were added to the service this time last year, we can at least make a few predictions ahead of time.
We know that a lot of Xbox users want more advance notice of games leaving Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft understandably gives us around two weeks right now - and don't forget, publishers sometimes secure late deals with Microsoft to keep their games on Game Pass, even after they've been announced to be leaving!
So, before we take a look at the following list of potential games leaving Xbox Game Pass in November 2023, we want to stress that nothing has been confirmed yet, and this will not be a 100% accurate list by any means. Some of these games might leave, some of these games might stay, and many others might be added to the list.
The most common (but definitely not the only) trend with Xbox Game Pass seems to be that games stick around for one year, so we've gone back to November 2022 to look at the games that were added to Game Pass at the time. That said, we've also added a few games from the November 2021 list as well. Based on those original announcements, here's what we think could potentially leave Xbox Game Pass in November 2023:
Date It Joined Xbox Game Pass | Game | Platform |
November 2, 2021 | Unpacking | Console, PC, Cloud |
November 4, 2021 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
November 11, 2021 | Dicey Dungeons | Console, PC, Cloud |
November 1, 2022 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
November 3, 2022 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
November 8, 2022 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
November 8, 2022 | Return To Monkey Island | Console, PC, Cloud |
November 10, 2022 | Vampire Survivors (seems unlikely?) | Console |
November 15, 2022 | Somerville | Console, PC, Cloud |
November 17, 2022 | Dune: Spice Wars | PC |
November 17, 2022 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
November 17, 2022 | Norco | Console, PC, Cloud |
November 22, 2022 | Console, PC, Cloud | |
November 29, 2022 | Insurgency: Sandstorm | Console, Cloud |
November 29, 2022 | Soccer Story | Console, PC, Cloud |
As mentioned previously, there could be plenty of additions to this list, and many of these games might stick around on Xbox Game Pass for even longer, but it seems likely that we'll lose at least some of these in November 2023. Our predictions usually turn out to be anywhere from 30%-80% correct.
October has just begun of course, so there's a lot more to leave Game Pass this month as well. Six games have been confirmed to be leaving on October 15th, and another batch will almost certainly be announced for the 31st.
Which of these games do you think will leave Xbox Game Pass in November 2023? Tell us down below.

Hopefully not Gungrave. Still need to play it.
Ghost Song it's a pretty cool, short Metroidvania.
Return to Monkey Island would hurt… most of the others I could let go…
Considering Unpacking and Vampire Survivors only entered the GP Core service in September it seems unlikely they're leaving anytime soon. Now watch this comment age like milk!
There are quite a few "Another World-likes" recently, Somerville had potential but the controls just weren't good enough. I thought the narrative was interesting but a little too chosen one-y. Maybe Another World just set the bar too high over 30 years ago.
Oh man. I still haven't made time for Return to Monkey Island. Shame on me
