Xbox Game Pass Losing 8 Games in Late September 2026

Did your favorite Game Pass title just get the boot? Microsoft has confirmed that eight games are leaving Xbox Game Pass in late September 2026. The list was spotted on the official Xbox Wire website, where all eight are marked as "leaving soon." So if you've been putting off playing any of these, now's the time to jump in.

Normally, we get word of departing games a bit earlier in the month. But this time, like last time, the announcement came later than usual. That delay had fans speculating, and it turns out our predictions for early October departures have actually come true sooner than we expected. So if you were hoping to squeeze in a few more weeks with these titles, bad news.

Among the casualties are Atomfall and Sifu. Both are standout games, and their exit is a real bummer for subscribers. Atomfall offers a unique survival-action experience, while Sifu delivers brutal, satisfying martial arts combat. If you haven't tried them yet, you've got until late September to change that.

The full list of eight games hasn't been detailed in the source, but we know these two heavy hitters are on the way out. Microsoft typically rotates its Game Pass library monthly, so it's always worth keeping an eye on the "leaving soon" section. That way, you won't miss your chance to play something before it's gone.

For now, the clock is ticking. If you're a Game Pass subscriber, make sure to check your library and prioritize any of these games you've been meaning to play. Once they're gone, they're gone—at least for a while.

What do you think about these departures? Will you be rushing to finish Atomfall or Sifu before they leave? Let us know in the comments below!
