Four titles on Xbox Game Pass will be leaving the service on September 30, including three Ninja Gaiden games and the sci-fi grand strategy romp Terra Invicta. Each month, games are both added and removed from the popular subscription service, and those utilizing Xbox Game Pass may want to enjoy these titles before they become unavailable in two weeks.
Dozens of incredibly popular titles have been added to Microsoft’s subscription service throughout 2025, with September being a particularly stacked month. On September 4, Hollow Knight: Silksong was added to Xbox Game Pass as a day-one release, and both Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor and Frostpunk 2 will be coming to the service this week. Those eager to enjoy more heavy hitters can look forward to even more exciting titles throughout the rest of 2025, with Ninja Gaiden 4 and The Outer Worlds 2 coming to Xbox Game Pass in October and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 scheduled to drop in November. Unfortunately, as more games are added, others are lost, with four titles scheduled to be removed at the end of this month.
