While Microsoft has not confirmed which titles will exit the Xbox Game Pass library next month, historical release data suggests several games may be nearing the end of their current licensing window. Based on games added to the service in September 2024 and 2025, a number of high-profile titles are candidates for removal in September 2026.
Potential Game Pass Departures
The following list is based on the arrival dates of these titles on the service. Please note that this is not an official list; publishers may secure extensions with Microsoft to keep their games on the platform longer than expected.
- Star Trucker (Joined Sept 3, 2024)
- Legend of Mana (Joined Sept 26, 2024)
- Trials of Mana (Joined Sept 26, 2024)
- I Am Your Beast (Joined Sept 2, 2025)

While Hollow Knight: Silksong appeared on the service in September 2025, it is considered an unlikely candidate for immediate removal.
What This Means for Players
Microsoft typically announces departing titles with approximately two weeks of lead time. Because licensing agreements can be renegotiated at the last minute, the list above serves as a predictive guide rather than a confirmed schedule. If you are currently playing any of these titles, it is worth prioritizing them now, as their availability is subject to change without extended advance notice.
