Microsoft is refreshing its Xbox Game Pass lineup with a wave of new titles this October, bringing a mix of action, strategy, and narrative-driven experiences for both console and PC players. Among the highlights are NINJA GAIDEN 4, Keeper, BALL x PIT, and Supermarket Simulator, while several other titles are also making their debut throughout the month.
Already Available: Run Your Own Store
Supermarket Simulator is now available on Game Pass for Cloud, Console, and PC. The game puts players in charge of running their own store, from managing stock and setting prices to hiring staff and keeping customers happy. It’s a grounded yet addictive experience that transforms everyday management tasks into surprisingly engaging gameplay.
Coming Soon to Game Pass
Over the coming weeks, the Game Pass library will expand even further with new and classic titles joining the lineup. Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition bring the legendary RPG experiences to PC, while The Casting of Frank Stone adds a dark, cinematic narrative to the service. Players can also look forward to BALL x PIT, a unique blend of brick-breaking action and roguelite progression, as well as family-friendly titles like The Grinch: Christmas Adventures.
Later in the month, Eternal Strands and He Is Coming (Game Preview) will arrive alongside NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black, giving fans of the series a chance to revisit one of its most iconic entries before diving into the newly released NINJA GAIDEN 4. Rounding out the lineup are Pax Dei, a social sandbox MMO; Keeper, a wordless narrative adventure; and Evil West, which mixes third-person shooting with vampire-hunting action.
Titles Leaving Game Pass
As new games arrive, some will also be making their exit. COCOON, Core Keeper, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed are scheduled to leave Game Pass on October 15. Subscribers who wish to continue playing after removal can purchase these titles at a discounted rate, thanks to Game Pass member benefits.
Why It Matters
October’s Game Pass additions highlight Microsoft’s continued effort to keep its subscription service fresh and varied. The inclusion of both major releases like NINJA GAIDEN 4 and smaller experimental titles like Keeper reinforces Game Pass’s appeal across all genres. As always, players can expect even more surprise additions as the month progresses — making this one of the most diverse lineups of the year so far.
