Battlefield 6 is joining Xbox Game Pass on October 13. Microsoft just dropped the first October wave, and EA's shooter is easily the biggest name on it.
Nine games land between October 8 and 16. Seven of them are brand new releases that go straight into the service on launch day. Throw in Gears of War: E-Day, which subscribers have been playing since October 6, and that's a pretty stacked couple of weeks.
Battlefield 6, one year later
Battlefield 6 launched on October 10, 2025 and smashed series records. It sold over 7 million copies in three days and shot straight to the top of Steam's best-sellers. Since then it's had a steady run of seasons (plus a Top Gun collab, of all things), and the March layoffs at Battlefield Studios didn't stop the updates.
It's coming to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on Xbox Series X|S, PC and cloud. Honestly? I think this is the best time to jump in. The servers are still busy and trying it won't cost you anything beyond the sub.
Release: 10 Oct 2025
The full schedule
- October 8: Echo Weaver, a time-loop metroidvania that hands you every ability from the start.
- October 8: Forever Ago, Annapurna Interactive's quiet minivan road trip with Alfred, who's in his seventies.
- October 8: Neon Abyss 2, with online co-op for up to four players.
- October 13: Deep Dish Dungeon, where you cook and craft between fights.
- October 13: Valor Mortis, a first-person soulslike from One More Level, the Polish studio behind Ghostrunner.
- October 15: Bluey's Happy Snaps, basically Pokémon Snap with Bluey and Bingo.
- October 15: Chained Beasts, a co-op roguelike for up to four gladiators chained together.
- October 16: Beyond These Stars, a city builder on the back of a space whale. PC only.
Everything hits Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Neon Abyss 2 is the only one that also lands in Game Pass Premium.
Leaving on October 15
The catch? Nine games leave the same day. The big one is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which still hurts a bit. A Plague Tale: Requiem, Pacific Drive and Evil West are going too. Crime Scene Cleaner and Donut County are also on the way out. So are Nova Roma, Superball and The Casting of Frank Stone.
If you've got Expedition 33 half-finished, wrap it up this week. Battlefield isn't going anywhere.
