Xbox Game Pass Lineup Adds Battlefield 6 and Valor Mortis Through Mid-October
The slate leans on day-one indie releases rather than back catalog, with Battlefield 6 carried in through EA Play rather than as a first-party addition.

Microsoft detailed nine titles for Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass between October 8 and October 16, 2026, seven of them day-one releases. Echo Weaver and Annapurna Interactive's Forever Ago arrive October 8, Deep Dish Dungeon on October 13, alongside Valor Mortis, Bluey's Happy Snap, Chained Beasts and Beyond These Stars. Battlefield 6 joins through EA Play and Neon Abyss 2 hits its official release.
Microsoft's next Game Pass window runs from October 8 to October 16, 2026, and most of what fills it arrives on release day rather than as catalog backfill. Seven of the nine titles are day-one additions, spanning a time-loop Metroidvania, a road-trip adventure from Annapurna Interactive, a co-op dungeon crawler, a first-person Soulslike and a photography game built around Bluey.
Two entries sit outside that group: Battlefield 6 comes in through EA Play, and Neon Abyss 2 reaches its official release. The full list follows.
- Echo Weaver: Time-loop Metroidvania, October 8, day one
- Forever Ago: Road-trip adventure from Annapurna Interactive, October 8, day one
- Deep Dish Dungeon: Cooperative dungeon-crawling survival, October 13, day one
- Valor Mortis: First-person Soulslike, day one
- Bluey's Happy Snap: Photography adventure, day one
- Chained Beasts: Cooperative gladiator roguelike, day one
- Beyond These Stars: Sci-fi city-building sim set on the back of a space whale, day one
