Microsoft has announced a fresh wave of titles heading to its subscription gaming service, bringing ten new games to the platform alongside major content updates, subscriber perks, and a list of departures scheduled for late October and November.
The upcoming lineup is anchored by major releases, led by Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. Coming to cloud, console, and PC on October 29 for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass subscribers, the award-winning role-playing game retells the original narrative up to the party’s escape from Midgar. Featuring enhanced visuals, fast-paced action, and a hybrid combat system that blends real-time movement with strategic commands, the title includes additional story elements.
Players looking for mystery can dive into The Séance of Blake Manor on October 27. Set in 1897 Ireland, the supernatural detective story tasks players with investigating the disappearance of a young woman inside a remote hotel filled with secrets and otherworldly occurrences. Also arriving on October 29 is Mouthwashing, a critically acclaimed psychological horror game developed by Wrong Organ and published by Critical Reflex. Set in the empty reaches of space under a perpetual sunset, the title follows five stranded crew members aboard the Tulpar. The inclusion follows an announcement made during the October 2026 ID@XBOX x IGN Showcase.
Several titles are launching on the platform on day one. Scramble Knights Online enters Game Preview on October 26 for cloud, console, and PC, offering an MMO-lite action role-playing experience set in the shared online kingdom of Terracott. Players can team up to conquer dungeons, slay monsters, and forge gear. Another day-one release is Terrible Lizards, a debut horror parkour game from WDR Studios—founded by the creators behind JTMusic—arriving on October 29. The title emphasizes fast, fluid movement and evasion over combat as players escape threats using parkour maneuvers.
Other additions include Sandustry in Game Preview on October 21 for PC, which challenges players to mine destructible worlds and automate production chains. Dodo Duckie arrives on October 22, offering a reality-bending puzzle platformer where players use a magical cap to switch between 2D and 3D perspectives. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted brings the classic defense game back in HD on October 29 with new levels for EA Play and Game Pass members. Rounding out the additions on November 3 is Pit of Goblin, an online horror co-op game where players scavenge dungeons as scrappy goblins to feed the Goblin King-Queen.
In addition to new games, subscribers can access the Season Two update for The Elder Scrolls Online, titled Echoes of Skyrim, starting October 21. The update allows players to explore Western Skyrim, tackle two solo dungeons, and unlock rewards through the Tamriel Tome. In-game benefits include a Welcome Pack for The Finals, featuring 500 Multibucks and a 25% bonus XP boost, as well as a World of Tanks Modern Armor XP Stock bundle arriving on November 3.
As new games arrive, several titles will leave the Game Pass library at the end of October. Games departing on October 31 include Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Dead Static Drive, Deep Rock Galactic, Full Throttle Remastered, Grim Fandango Remastered, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Wartales, and Wildgate. They will be followed on November 10 by Football Manager 26 and Football Manager 26 – Console Edition.
