As is normally the case, no specific time of departure has been given for theOctober 15 Xbox Game Pass removals. Microsoft’s track record suggests that these five titles will most likely leave its popular subscription service around midnight, local time. That leaves XGP members with only enough time to feasibly beatScorn, which is by far the shortest game from this mid-October wave of departures. How Long To Beat’s crowdsourced data estimates that a typical run through this body horror game takes under six hours on average.
Everspace 2is the most critically acclaimed title from this soon-to-be-departing quintet, boasting an OpenCritic average score of 83, as well as a 93% reviewer recommendation rate on the platform. ButDyson Sphere Programmight have given it a run for its money were it not for its early access status, as underlined by the fact that the intergalactic space factory sim presently has “Overwhelmingly Positive” user reviews on Steam, based on over 74,000 player impressions.
Xbox Game Pass has so far only added three new titlesto its library since the start of October, in addition to committing to releasing two more over the next few weeks. These five departures will hence completely offset all of its previously confirmed games for this month. Granted, Microsoft has yet to detail the second wave of October 2024 releases, but that announcement will also see the company confirm even more departures, which are expected to take place on October 31.
