"Play them while you can A quartet of titles is leaving Xbox Game Pass in mid-October--most notably two beloved puzzle adventure games. One is Cocoon, which won Best Debut Indie Game at The Game Awards 2023. Created by former Playdead developers, Cocoon puts you in the role of a beetle traveling through different worlds contained in orbs, creating unique and enchanting moments."
"And then there's Donut County, a 2018 game made by Neon White developer Ben Esposito. Following a raccoon named BK, Donut County has players controlling a hole that grows as it consumes more objects and people--a hole produced by BK's selfish actions. This isn't Donut County's first stint on Game Pass, having previously left the service in January 2023 before rejoining in October 2024."
"As per usual, all of these games are 20% off for Game Pass members before they're removed from the service on October 15. The games are leaving the service just as Microsoft announced a controversial price hike, raising the cost of Game Pass Ultimate to $30/month. Microsoft also touted a whopping 94 titles that are part of the newly restructured Game Pass model."
Four titles will be removed from Xbox Game Pass on October 15: Cocoon, Donut County, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed, and Core Keeper. Cocoon, created by former Playdead developers, features a beetle exploring orb-contained worlds and won Best Debut Indie Game at The Game Awards 2023. Donut County, by Ben Esposito, centers on a growing hole caused by raccoon BK and previously left Game Pass in January 2023 before rejoining in October 2024. Mutants Unleashed is a 3D beat-'em-up tied to the 2023 animated film, and Core Keeper is a mining sandbox. All four are 20% off for members before removal. Microsoft also raised Game Pass Ultimate to $30/month and promoted 94 titles in a restructured model. A compilation lists best Game Pass titles for 2025 and upcoming additions.
