On November 10 and November 15, 2026, a batch of 14 games leaves the Xbox Game Pass library, including Football Manager 26, GoldenEye 007, Wreckfest, and 1000xRESIST. If one of them is still in your queue, you have days, not weeks, to finish it, buy it, or let it go.
Here is the short answer. Football Manager 26 leaves on November 10, 2026. The other 13 games in this wave leave on November 15, 2026, for 14 games in total. Football Manager 26 has separate PC and Console Edition catalog entries; we count it once, as most reports do.
What Happened: Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass in November 2026
On November 2, 2026, Pure Xbox reported that 14 games carried the “leaving soon” tag in the Xbox mobile app. It gave two exit dates: November 10 for Football Manager 26 and November 15 for everything else.
Microsoft’s November 2026 Wave 1 roundup on Xbox Wire (November 3, 2026) announced new arrivals such as Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School, Thronefall, Warhammer Survivors, and Football Manager 27, and other outlets’ copies of the leaving list match the 14 titles below. The November 10 date for Football Manager 26 comes from the app’s leaving-soon listing as reported, so check the tag on your own console.
Confirmed departures and dates

Per the Xbox Wire list, GoldenEye 007 leaves Cloud and Console (it was not in PC Game Pass), Football Manager 26 leaves as both its PC and Console Edition listings, and the other 12 November 15 titles leave Cloud, Console, and PC.
We found no exact removal time in the sources we reviewed, and your local time zone may not match the one Microsoft uses. To be safe, treat November 9 and November 14 as your last full days of play rather than a guaranteed cutoff.
Who This Affects
- Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass Premium members on Xbox Series X|S: every listed title leaves the console library on its date.
- PC Game Pass members: you lose the PC versions of the departing games. GoldenEye 007 is the exception, since it was listed for Cloud and Console only.
- Cloud players: cloud access to the listed titles ends on the same dates.
- Football Manager players: your deadline is five days earlier than everyone else’s.
Tier prices were not confirmed in the sources we reviewed. The only related note was that Game Pass pricing had reportedly been adjusted in some regions earlier in 2026, though no specific figures or dates were confirmed. This departure wave does not change which tier you need. It only changes what is in the library.
What Happens When a Game Leaves Game Pass
Xbox explains this in its Xbox Game Pass FAQ, under the question “What happens when a game leaves Xbox Game Pass or I cancel my subscription?” In short:
- You lose access to the game once it leaves the library, unless you buy it.
- Members can usually buy library titles at a member discount while they are still in Game Pass. Pure Xbox reported discounts on most titles in this wave; check each store page for the current price.
- DLC you bought yourself stays yours. If you own add-ons for a departing game, buying the base game keeps them playable.
PC players can check the matching PC Game Pass FAQ.
About saves and progress: the sources we reviewed do not say how save data is handled for this specific wave. Do not delete local data or uninstall a departing game on the assumption that your progress is backed up somewhere. Check the FAQ first, and confirm cloud sync is working before the deadline.
About the discount: the sources we reviewed list no discount percentage or sale price for any game in this wave. Check the price on each game’s store page in the Xbox app or on xbox.com while you are signed in with your Game Pass account.
How It Stacks Up
Against previous Football Manager rotations. The clearest pattern in this wave is Football Manager. Football Manager 27 is part of the same November Game Pass roundup, according to Xbox Wire, with the PC version available first and the Console Edition from November 10, the same day Football Manager 26 leaves.
The new season’s edition and the old one are arriving and leaving within days of each other. If you are mid-save in FM26 and do not want to start over in FM27, you have very little time.
Against the rest of the list. The November 15 group covers a broad mix of styles (our own labels):
- the GoldenEye 007 remaster
- vehicle combat racing in Wreckfest
- narrative adventure in 1000xRESIST
- roguelite shop-keeping in Moonlighter
- action RPG fighting in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
- simulators: Barbie Horse Trails, Firefighting Simulator – The Squad, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers, and Pigeon Simulator
- co-op looter action in Relic Hunters Legend
- survival horror in Total Chaos
- the cozy survival game Winter Burrow and the comedic adventure Great God Grove
If several people in your household share one Game Pass Ultimate membership, the losses may be spread across different players rather than hitting one genre fan.
Against PS5, Switch 2, or PC versions. We found no benchmark data, frame-rate comparisons, or rival-platform pricing for any of these games in this wave, so we are not making those comparisons. Check each game’s own store page if you plan to buy it on another platform.
The Reaction
Reaction to this wave is still forming. We did not find specific posts we could link to, and no matching Hacker News or Reddit discussions surfaced in the sources we gathered. We will not summarize public sentiment until there is something concrete to cite.
What to Do Next
Pick one action for each game you care about before its deadline:
- Finish it if you are close to the end. Aim for November 9 for Football Manager 26 and November 14 for everything else, since exact removal times were not published.
- Buy it from the store page in the Xbox app or on xbox.com if you want to keep playing past the deadline. Check the price before the exit date, while any member discount still applies.
- Let it go if it was just sitting in your backlog.
Our Take
Play it on Game Pass now if you can finish in time. Buy it before the deadline only if you know you will keep playing. Do not count on a later sale.
Here is why. We found no confirmed sale date or post-departure price for any title in this wave, and member discounts are tied to games that are still in the library. Waiting is a gamble with no evidence behind it.
Football Manager 26 players have the clearest choice. FM27 is part of the same November roundup, so buying FM26 only makes sense if you want to keep a specific long-running save.
Wrapping Up
Two dates matter: November 10 for Football Manager 26 and November 15 for the other 13 games. Check prices and finish what you can while the member discount still applies.
