Game Pass Games for October 2026 - Wave 1

Microsoft is opening the floodgates for October 2026 with a massive first wave of titles heading to Xbox Game Pass. The mid-month drop is headlined by the colossal arrival of Battlefield 6, but indie fans have just as much to celebrate with a packed slate of Day One releases including Echo Weaver, Forever Ago, and Valor Mortis.
