When it comes to Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft almost always adds more games than it removes, and that’s already true for October. Compared to the 11 new Xbox Game Pass games for October 2021 that we know about, Microsoft has only announced six games that are leaving Xbox Game Pass come October 15. The games leaving Xbox Game Pass on October 15 mainly consist of indie titles with the exception ofTales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, which is a large-scale JRPG set in theTales of…franchise.
Out of the games leaving Xbox Game Pass in October 2021, one of the most highly-rated isKatana Zero.Katana Zerois a unique 2D action gamewith a rewind gimmick. The goal is for players to kill everyone on the screen without getting hit, and the game will rewind to the beginning of the area every time players fail. This adds an interesting puzzle element and luckilyKatana Zerois pretty short, so anyone interested in playing it while it’s still available on Xbox Game Pass definitely has time to do so.
