XBOX Game Pass Unveils First Wave of October 2026 Titles

Good news everyone! XBOX Game Pass new additions have just been announced. XBOX made the announcement over on XBOX Wire, confirming 9 titles being added to the service over the first half of the month.

Lest us not forget, that we’re still reeling from the amazing Gears of War: E-Day that dropped just yesterday!

I think one of the most notable additions is the day one release, Valor Mortis. The first-person Soulslike is promising a lot and I’m very excited to jump in. Keep an eye out for our review dropping next week.

It’s also great to see Battlefield 6 being added, multiplayer games can always benefit from a boost, especially after they’ve been out for a year or so. I’m going to be jumping back in, if I ever find the time, of course.
