It’s a Sprint: Games Leaving Game Pass November 30th 2025 Edition

Octopath Traveler II by Square Enix and Acquire

It’s once again that magical time of the year–where we need to reorganize our hard drives to accommodate a new Call of Duty. Not to “back in my day” too hard, but the 5GB PS3 install for Resident Evil 5 felt huge–like I’d never recover. Having grown up exclusively on consoles/handhelds, I wasn’t used to making these difficult decisions (other than what glitchy Driver replays to delete off memory cards). I managed to get my Black Ops 7 install down to a little over 100GBs–but I’m already looking forward to that delete after blowing through the campaign. 

If after all those gymnastics you have any space left over, here’s what’s currently scheduled to leave Game Pass at the end of November.

As always, thanks for reading! I’m in the middle of reviewing an excellent indie platformer and the Game Award nominations are set to be revealed Monday morning. Those articles will probably be bookending this one—so feel free to poke around until you find something you like. 

Until we meet again, reject the notion you don’t have time to play everything.
