Xbox Game Pass leaving November 15 2026 covers 13 titles due to leave Microsoft’s subscription library, including GoldenEye 007, Wreckfest, Moonlighter and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Xbox confirmed the date on 3 November. If you’re halfway through one of these games, don’t assume you’ll still be able to launch it with Game Pass after Sunday 15 November.
Leaving Game Pass doesn’t mean your progress disappears. It does mean the subscription will no longer let you launch the game. Here’s the full list, what happens to downloaded copies and how to keep playing if you decide to buy an edition.
Xbox Game Pass leaving November 15 2026: the complete 13-game list
These are all 13 games Microsoft has listed. GoldenEye 007 is the only title shown for Cloud and Console without PC. The other twelve are listed for Cloud, Console and PC. Those platforms are the catalogue versions being removed, not an announcement that the games themselves are shutting down.
| Game | Leaving platforms |
|---|---|
| 1000xResist | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Barbie Horse Trails | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Firefighting Simulator: The Squad | Cloud, Console, PC |
| GoldenEye 007 | Cloud, Console |
| Great God Grove | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Moonlighter | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Pigeon Simulator | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Police Simulator: Patrol Officers | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Relic Hunters Legend | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Total Chaos | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Winter Burrow | Cloud, Console, PC |
| Wreckfest | Cloud, Console, PC |
Watch out for the two Firefighting Simulator titles: The Squad is leaving, while Ignite joined Game Pass on 5 November. Perfect Dark is joining Essential on the same date that GoldenEye 007 leaves. They’re all separate titles.
What time will the games leave in the UK?
For Xbox Game Pass leaving November 15 2026, check the table, sync your save and decide whether owning a compatible copy makes sense. You have the confirmed date, but Microsoft hasn’t stated a universal UK cutoff hour.
An announced departure date doesn’t tell you the exact time a licence check changes in every country. If you’re worried about losing access mid-session, finish before 15 November. The Xbox app is the best place to check your entitlement once the date arrives.
Xbox Game Pass leaving November 15 2026: what happens to downloads?
When a game leaves, your Game Pass licence ends. The files may still be installed on your Xbox or PC, but an installed game needs a valid licence to launch. If you want to carry on, buy a compatible edition or use another valid entitlement. Otherwise, uninstall it to reclaim the space.
Microsoft encourages subscribers to buy games before they leave, and discounts may be available. Check the current UK price for the edition you need; the announcement doesn’t promise one discount for all 13 titles. Buying DLC without the base game won’t restore access.
Will you lose your Xbox game saves?
For games on the Xbox Game Pass leaving November 15 2026 list, the answer is normally no. Xbox save data is generally tied to your account and synchronised for supported games. Removing the game from the catalogue doesn’t mean Xbox automatically wipes the progress on your account. If you later buy the same compatible version and sign in with that same Xbox account, you can usually pick up where you stopped.
Before your final session, make sure the console is online and your saves have synced, particularly if you’ve played offline. Changing to a different PC storefront, edition or Xbox profile might not carry progress over. And owning a title doesn’t guarantee cloud streaming: stream your own game has a separate eligibility list.
Xbox Game Pass leaving November 15 2026: which games should you finish first?
With Xbox Game Pass leaving November 15 2026 approaching, start with a game you’re already close to finishing. If you’re midway through 1000xResist or Moonlighter, you’re better off finishing your current playthrough than starting several new ones. If you regularly play Wreckfest or Police Simulator, consider whether you’d rather buy them.
Leaving the catalogue doesn’t mean a developer is closing a game’s online servers, and it doesn’t take away a copy you’ve bought outright. Those are different things. This announcement only concerns Game Pass access.
What’s being added to Game Pass on 15 November?
The Xbox Game Pass leaving November 15 2026 titles aren’t being swapped one for one. Microsoft has separately announced eight classics for Game Pass Essential on 15 November, including Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark. Our Essential November 2026 guide lists them all. The November Wave 1 guide covers other additions such as Warhammer Survivors and Football Manager 27.
If you’ve been deciding whether to change your subscription, our Game Pass tier guide covers the plans, and the cloud limits guide explains streaming allowances. A library removal and a cloud-playtime cap are not the same thing.
For Xbox Game Pass leaving November 15 2026, the useful approach is simple: check whether your game is listed, make sure the save has synced and decide whether you want to own a compatible copy. The date is confirmed; a guaranteed UK cut-off time isn’t.
