As usual, there’s a handful of games departing the service in the coming weeks, meaning if you haven’t started them yet, or you want to replay them, you’ll need to go ahead and buy them. If you buy these games before they exit Xbox Game Pass, you’ll get a discount! Here’s what’s leaving soon:

The highlights for this batch of games entering Xbox Game Pass are undoubtedly the two Octopath Traveler games. Both are massive JRPGs that are well worth checking out, and I’m glad Xbox players can finally experience both titles.
Elsewhere, I stand by my thoughts that The Callisto Protocol is a good game, certainly a better game than it often gets credit for. If you were turned off by the general reception and haven’t played it yet, give it a chance this month.
I’d also be remiss not to mention how much I’m looking forward to Still Wakes the Deep. The Chinese Room’s prior work hasn’t really spoken to me, but everything about this creeping horror unfolding on an oil rig seems downright perfect, and the team has been appropriately cagey about actually showing the threat. Plus, it’s launching on my birthday, so I’m choosing to believe it’s a nice little birthday gift for me.
