Xbox Game Pass is rumored to be going through some major changes when it comes to day-one releases soon, but that hasn't stopped the service from dropping another month of excellent new additions. While not all of the 9 games arriving free this month for Xbox subscribers are brand-new triple-A titles, there are still a surprising number of hits arriving that you don't want to miss out on. As detailed by Xbox Wire, one of the most exciting titles coming to Game Pass is the day-one release of the action souls-like Valor Mortis, which will be available through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on October 13. In terms of every other game arriving this month, you can expect to play all the following releases over the next few weeks: Echo Weaver (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) — October 8 Forever Ago (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) — October 8 Neon Abyss 2 (Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, PC Game Pass) — October 8 Battlefield 6 (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) — October 13 Valor Mortis (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) — October 13 Deep Dish Dungeon (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) – October 13 Bluey’s Happy Snaps (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) — October 15 Chained Beasts (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) — October 15 Beyond These Stars (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass) — October 16 Alongside Valor Mortis' glowing previews, 2025's Battlefield 6 is also coming to Game Pass just in time for its newest Dead Space-themed Halloween event crossover, letting fans of the horror game relive the nightmarish experience alongside dozens of other players. The handful of indie games arriving are also nothing to scoff at either, with games like Deep Dish Dungeon offering some unique survival co-op gameplay. These titles also come in addition to the recently added releases of Minecraft Dungeons 2, Shape of Dreams, and Gears of War: E-Day that were all released over the past weeks, which you can play right now for free with a valid Game Pass membership. Every Game Leaving Game Pass This Month Of course, in addition to an excellent selection of new releases, also comes the downside of several major titles leaving the platform as well, which also includes the GOTY-winning Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 among the rest of the following titles that will no longer be available through Game Pass as of October 15: A Plague Tale: Requiem (Cloud, Console, and PC) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Cloud, Console, and PC) Crime Scene Cleaner (Cloud, Console, and PC) Donut County (Cloud, Console, and PC) Evil West (Cloud, Console, and PC) Nova Roma (Game Preview) (PC) Pacific Drive (Cloud, Console, and PC) Superball (Cloud, Console, and PC) The Casting of Frank Stone (Cloud, Console, and PC) While there isn't a lot of time to play through most of these games in the week remaining, you could still beat some of the shorter stories in games like The Casting of Frank Stone, Pacific Drive, or A Plague Tale: Requiem. Even if you could only make a small dent in the experiences, it still offers a good time to try out some of these games for free using Xbox Game Pass while you can before buying them outright.
