The Best-Selling Game Of 2025 Storms Onto Game Pass One Year Later

Key Points:

• Battlefield 6 is joining Xbox Game Pass for the first time on October 13, 2026, coinciding with the start of its Las Vegas-themed season 5, marking a significant addition to the service a year after the game's launch.
• Despite a mixed campaign, Battlefield 6’s multiplayer remains highly praised, and its arrival on Game Pass positions it as a notable rival to Call of Duty, whose latest title will not launch on Game Pass.
• Several indie games are also launching on Game Pass in October, including Echo Weaver, a time-loop metroidvania; Neon Abyss 2, a cyberpunk roguelike with online co-op; and Chained Beasts, a co-op gladiator roguelike.
• Other notable additions include Forever Ago, a narrative adventure exploring unexpected life paths, and Valor Mortis, a Napoleonic Wars Soulslike from the creator of Ghostrunner, which aims to offer a fresh take on the genre.
• The first wave of October Game Pass additions spans multiple platforms including Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Console, and Handheld, offering a diverse lineup for subscribers starting from October 8 through October 16.
