Microsoft has announced the second wave of Xbox Game Pass additions for October 2026, confirming nine games arriving between October 21 and November 3. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Mouthwashing and The Séance of Blake Manor headline the latest lineup, with new releases available across Xbox Series X|S, PC and supported cloud gaming platforms.
The announcement was published on October 20 through Xbox Wire by Megan Spurr, Senior Community Lead for Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft also detailed subscription tier availability, additional in-game benefits and several titles scheduled to leave the service before mid-November.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade arrives on October 29 for Xbox Series X|S, PC and cloud gaming through Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass. Square Enix’s action RPG reimagines the opening portion of Final Fantasy VII, following Cloud Strife and his companions through Midgar with expanded storytelling, modern visuals and a combat system combining real-time action with strategic commands.
The addition gives Game Pass subscribers access to the first installment of Square Enix’s remake project. The broader Final Fantasy VII series is also continuing with Final Fantasy VII Revelation, which features playable Vincent and Cid alongside new combat and traversal mechanics.
October 29 will also bring Mouthwashing, the psychological horror game developed by Wrong Organ and published by Critical Reflex. Set aboard the stranded spacecraft Tulpar, the game follows five crew members trapped in deep space. It will be available through Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass on Xbox Series X|S, PC and cloud, with handheld support also listed.
Another notable addition is The Séance of Blake Manor, arriving October 27. This supernatural detective mystery takes place in Ireland in 1897, where players investigate the disappearance of a young woman at an isolated hotel. It will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PC and cloud through Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass.
The complete October 2026 second-wave lineup is as follows.
October 21: Sandustry (Game Preview) — PC. Joining Game Pass Premium, with availability already established through Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

Among the smaller releases, Scramble Knights Online is a cooperative action RPG built around dungeon exploration, quests and equipment progression. Microsoft confirmed that it will launch into Game Pass on its first day of availability.
Terrible Lizards is another day-one addition. Developed by WDR Studios, the horror game emphasizes parkour and escaping dangerous creatures rather than direct combat. Meanwhile, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted revisits the original tower-defense game with HD visuals, new levels and additional content.
Pit of Goblin will close the announced wave on November 3. The cooperative horror game puts players in control of goblins exploring dangerous dungeons, avoiding monsters and gathering resources for the Goblin King-Queen.
Beyond the new games, Microsoft confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online will receive its Season 2 update, Echoes of Skyrim, on October 21. Game Pass subscribers can also claim a Welcome Pack for The Finals, containing 500 Multibucks, a 25% bonus XP boost and cosmetic items. World of Tanks Modern Armor will receive an XP Stock benefit on November 3, featuring repair kits, medical kits and automatic fire suppressors.
Microsoft also confirmed nine departures from the Game Pass library on October 31: 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.
Football Manager 26 and Football Manager 26 Console Edition are scheduled to leave on November 10.
The new additions are spread across several subscription tiers, meaning not every game will be accessible through every Game Pass membership. Subscribers interested in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Mouthwashing or The Séance of Blake Manor will be able to play through Ultimate, Premium or PC Game Pass when their respective arrival dates are reached.
