Four notable games are scheduled to depart from Xbox Game Pass on September 30, marking the end of availability for three acclaimed Ninja Gaiden titles and the ambitious sci-fi strategy game Terra Invicta. As with every month, Microsoft's subscription service undergoes regular updates, with both additions and removals keeping the library fresh and dynamic. Subscribers have approximately two weeks to complete their adventures in these exiting titles before they become unavailable through the service.

The year 2025 has seen numerous high-profile additions to Microsoft's gaming subscription platform, with September proving particularly generous to subscribers. The month began with the highly anticipated day-one release of Hollow Knight: Silksong on September 4, followed by upcoming arrivals including Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor and Frostpunk 2 later this week. The remainder of 2025 promises even more excitement with Ninja Gaiden 4 and The Outer Worlds 2 joining in October, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 scheduled for November. However, as new games arrive, others must depart to maintain the service's rotating catalog.

Complete List of Games Exiting Xbox Game Pass on September 30, 2025

• Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Terra Invicta (Game Preview) (PC)

The departing titles include Ninja Gaiden Sigma, the 2007 enhanced remake of the original action classic, along with its 2009 sequel Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Completing the trilogy's exit is Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, which will also leave the service on the same date. Additionally, the game preview version of Terra Invicta, a complex sci-fi grand strategy title that entered Early Access in 2022, will be removed from the platform. This follows the previous wave of departures on September 15, which saw games including All You Need is Help, Wargroove 2, and We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie exit the service.

Looking ahead, several day-one releases are planned for Xbox Game Pass in the coming months, including the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden 4, The Outer Worlds 2, Keeper, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and Football Manager 26. The service continues to expand on September 17 with additions including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, For the King 2, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and a game preview of the city builder Overthrown. Furthermore, the critically acclaimed roguelike dungeon crawler Hades will make its return to Xbox Game Pass on September 19, giving subscribers another opportunity to experience this beloved title.

Xbox enthusiasts should mark September 25 on their calendars for the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 broadcast, which promises to unveil additional details about upcoming releases. While specific announcements remain undisclosed, many anticipate potential shadow drops similar to the 2024 event, where several games unexpectedly joined Xbox Game Pass during the presentation.
