Kicking off the lineup on October 23 are PowerWash Simulator 2 and Bounty Star, both launching directly on Game Pass. The sequel to the popular cleaning sim introduces new maps, better visuals, and fresh challenges for fans who found the oddly satisfying gameplay addictive. On the other hand, Bounty Star blends mech combat with base-building, giving players the freedom to customise and upgrade their battle machines. Both titles will be available to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members from day one.
Upcoming Game Additions
Following that, Super Fantasy Kingdom, a roguelite city builder, will join the lineup on October 24 in preview form, exclusive to PC Game Pass and Ultimate users. Halls of Torment, a survival roguelite title, is set to arrive on October 28 across all Game Pass tiers, including Premium.
The highlight of the lineup, The Outer Worlds 2, launches on October 29 as a day-one title. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the standalone sequel to the original Outer Worlds promises deeper role-playing elements and expanded exploration.
In early November, Game Pass will also get Football Manager 26 and 1000xResist. Both titles arrive on November 4. Football Manager 26 will be available across PC, Xbox, and Cloud, while 1000xResist will be accessible to Ultimate, Premium, and PC subscribers.
Titles Leaving Game Pass
Microsoft also confirmed that Jusant, Metal Slug Tactics, and Return to Monkey Island will leave Game Pass on October 31.
The announcement follows Microsoft’s recent changes to Game Pass plans and pricing, with new tiers – Game Pass Essential and Premium – replacing the older Core and Standard plans, adding more games and Cloud gaming support.
