Xbox Game Pass Losing One of Its Highest-Rated Games and 2 More Titles Today

Return to Monkey Island Leaving Game Pass After 3 Years

The October 31 Xbox Game Pass catalog rotation will see the service lose Return to Monkey Island, Metal Slug Tactics, and Jusant. The trio is expected to depart around midnight local time, so players should technically have access until November 1. In addition to being the highest-rated title in this batch, Return to Monkey Island also has the longest Game Pass tenure of the group, having originally joined the service in early November 2022. It is now leaving just eight days short of its third anniversary on the platform. As usual, the October 31 departures are currently available for purchase at member-only discounts of up to 20%.

Xbox Game Pass already lost four other titles in mid-October 2025: Cocoon, Core Keeper, Donut County, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed. With this latest batch, the total number of removals for the month rises to seven. At the same time, October saw 66 new additions to the service, resulting in a net gain of 59 titles. Even excluding the large batch of Ubisoft+ Classics shadow dropped alongside the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate price hike on October 1, the platform still added 19 new releases—far more than it lost over the past 31 days.
