Here are our Xbox Game Pass games for October 2026

Microsoft announced the first set of games to be added to Xbox Game Pass in October 2026. Subscribers have only a week left to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a highly acclaimed role-playing game that debuted on the platform last year. Other notable additions include Battlefield 6, a large-scale shooter that sold over 7 million copies in its first three days and has remained popular with post-launch updates and a Top Gun collaboration.

The new lineup also features seven original games, such as Echo Weaver, a time-loop metroidvania; Forever Ago, a road trip adventure; Deep Dish Dungeon, a co-op survive-em-up; Valor Mortis, a first-person soulslike; Bluey's Happy Snaps, a cute photography romp; Chained Beast, a co-op roguelike; and Beyond These Stars, a city-builder set on the back of a space whale.

However, some beloved games are leaving the service this month, including the RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the indie hits Donut County and Pacific Drive. Game enthusiasts can explore the full list of Xbox Game Pass offerings and decide which new games pique their interest.
