In a significant update, Microsoft has modified its Xbox Game Pass removals schedule, indicating that the number of titles leaving the service on September 30 is less than previously forecasted. Just three games will depart the service by the end of the month.

This update follows a prior announcement made on September 16, which originally listed four games for removal: Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge, and Terra Invicta. However, Microsoft later clarified that only the three Ninja Gaiden games will be removed from the service. Terra Invicta, developed by Pavonis Interactive, will not be leaving as initially stated.

Updated List of Xbox Game Pass September 30 Removals

Game	Added	How Long To Beat
Ninja Gaiden Sigma	Jun 2022	13–30 hours
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2	Jun 2022	11–87 hours
Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge	Jun 2022	7–34 hours

Given the unusual nature of revising a list of removals, it is unclear whether a new agreement allowed Terra Invicta to remain, or if its removal is simply postponed.
