Microsoft announced the second batch of games to be added to Xbox Game Pass in October.

These three games will be available on Game Pass as day-one launches.
Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 for October announced
The Xbox parent company announced the games coming to Game Pass in late October and early November in an Xbox Wire post on Wednesday. Among the games announced, Commandos: Origins and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 are now available with a Game Pass Premium subscription on Xbox consoles, cloud, and PC.
On October 23, Game Pass will add two day-one games – PowerWash Simulator 2 and Bounty Star. The sequel to the indie hit PowerWash Simulator brings new locations and new ways to clean. Bounty Star, on the other hand, is a 3D mecha combat action game with basic building mechanics. Both games are added to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members on day one.

The service will add a preview version of roguelite city-building game Super Fantasy Kingdom on October 24. The game will be available on PC only to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers.
Later this month, survival rogue-like Halls of Torment will join Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and PC versions on October 28th. One day later, the first-party Xbox game “The Outer Worlds 2” will be launched on the first day of October 29th. Obsidian RPG is a standalone sequel to Outer Wilds.
Game Pass will also add two games on November 4th – Football Manager 26 on PC, cloud and Xbox consoles, and sci-fi game 1000xResist. Both games will be available on November 4th. FM 26 will be available as a day-one launch game to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers, while 1000xResist will be available to Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass subscribers.
Microsoft also announced that games that will exit Game Pass on October 31st include “Jusant,” “Metal Slug Tactics” and “Return to Monkey Island.”
Earlier this month, the company announced an overhaul of Xbox Game Pass, launching new plans and pricing for the subscription service. The Xbox parent company is increasing the price of Game Pass Ultimate by 50% in the United States and adding more games and perks to the highest tier of the service.
Microsoft also launched Game Pass Essential and Premium plans, replacing the Game Pass Core and Standard tiers. In addition to cloud gaming support (previously only available on the Ultimate tier), both plans have added more games and Xbox bonuses.
