We've been waiting a while for Microsoft to reveal the Xbox Game Pass lineup for the back-half of October 2024, and now we've finally got some details! Black Ops 6 is obviously in here, along with a few surprise additions.
So, let's take a look - here's what's coming to Xbox Game Pass over the next couple of weeks:
Date | Game | Platforms |
---|---|---|
October 16 | South Park: The Fractured But Whole | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 17 | Donut County | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 17 | MechWarrior 5: Clans | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
October 25 | Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 25 | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 | Cloud |
October 25 | Call of Duty: Warzone | Cloud |
October 29 | Ashen | Console, PC, Cloud |
October 31 | Dead Island 2 | PC |
November 5 | Starcraft: Remastered | PC |
November 5 | Starcraft 2: Campaign Collection | PC |
In addition, it's been confirmed that five games will leave Xbox Game Pass at the end of October, including the likes of Lonely Mountains: Downhill and Headbangers Rhythm Royale. These will be at least 20% off until then.
Obviously we've got a couple of next month's titles in this list as well, and there are actually many more where those came from - our recent November 2024 Game Pass roundup highlighted six titles in all, including Stalker 2!
Which of these are you planning to play on Xbox Game Pass? Tell us in the comments section below.

There you go: 5 Activision Blizzard games. Hope everyone's satisfied 😜
The Fractured but Whole is amazing. Hilarious too.
Donut County is missing.
So yet another nothing on game pass month for me.
Technically there is one game in November that being Stalker 2 but I already preordered it so would have access regardless.
My sub is up at end of year & its probably just going to be renewed as core or whatever lowest tier for online access is called these days. Ultimate has just been months of disappointment for me this year.
@Markatron84 3 of them are the same game so no 🧑🌾
Nothing for me here 🙁 saying that, I should get my moneys worth next month with Stalker 2 and MFS2024.
South Park is great though obviously far more so for those who enjoy the show's humour! Great second half to the month though. Really can't moan at that.
I'm really looking forward to Black Ops 6 but I wouldn't play any 'competitive' (PvP modes) over the cloud and Warzone, whilst Free to Play anyway, is PvP only. MW3 doesn't have the best Campaign and its seasonal content for MP/Zombies has finished now.
@Ricky-Spanish No they are not - CoD MW3 was last years Call of Duty with its own Campaign, Zombies and MP. BO6 is the 'new' release with all new Movement and its own Campaign, Zombies and MP mode. Warzone is Free to Play, but is the Battle Royale with lots of teams/players. 3 Separate games - much like adding Gears 4, Gears 5 and Gears Tactics - you wouldn't say those are all the 'same' game. MW3 and Warzone can be played on Console anyway as MW3 was added to Game Pass a few months back and Warzone is F2P so you don't 'need' Game Pass anyway to download and play it.
What is interesting though is that you couldn't play MW3, Warzone and/or BO6 without 'Hardware' but when they add it to Game Pass Cloud, literally anyone can play anywhere. Amazon Firestick users for example can play. Although I'd prefer to play PvP (even F2P games like Warzone or Fortnite) on Hardware myself, some maybe happy just to be able to play on their Amazon Firestick, Samsung TV or even their Phone/Tablet.
Starcraft and Starcraft 2 are not coming to Console - at least not this month so I'd argue that only 1 game is coming to 'Xbox'. Therefore its not '5' games as 2 at least were already on 'Console' (MW3 and Warzone - Warzone won't be on Game Pass for 'Hardware' as its F2P anyway) and with Starcraft 1 & 2 on PC, its actually only 1 ABK game coming this month to Console.
So in essence, Warzone and MW3 are already playable on Xbox with only MW3 requiring 'Game Pass' to play 'free'. With Starcraft and Starcraft 2 on PC, Console Game Pass Subscribers are only getting BO6 this month where as PC owners are getting B06 and both Starcraft games. Only Cloud users are getting access to MW3 & Warzone too as both are already on Xbox/PC and Warzone doesn't require Game Pass.
"10 games" THIS BISH
@BAMozzy
Remember, Xbox isn't just the console! Phil Spencer said so!!!
Wait, isn't warzone free to play?
@Markatron84 I agree - Xbox stopped being 'just' the Console years ago and its now the entire Microsoft gaming ecosystem - but only 1 ABK game is actually coming to 'Xbox Consoles' this month as Warzone and MW3 are already on Xbox and Starcraft 1 & 2 aren't on Console.
Cloud too isn't getting Starcraft 1 or 2 so they can't be played on Xbox consoles (or any other platform that supports Xbox Cloud).
As MW3 was already added to Game Pass and Warzone is Free to Play anyway, its only Cloud that is getting these this month. So unless you play on Cloud and/or PC as well as Console, the number of ABK games coming this month is between 1 and 3. If you only play on Xbox Hardware, its just 1 game, Cloud and PC has 3 (BO6 + either MW3 & Warzone or Starcraft 1 & 2). MW3 has already been in Game Pass for the past few months and Warzone is Free to Play on PC/Xbox hardware anyway. So unless you play on Cloud, you can already play...
@Bigmanfan Warzone is Free to Play - but you also need Hardware to download and play it on. Warzone, like Fortnite, is being added to Game Pass for 'Cloud' access. Meaning that you can play on any device that supports Game Pass streaming - from your Consoles to your mobile phone or tablet, from Samsung TV's to Amazon Firesticks...
Point is, Game Pass Cloud is running the game 'in the cloud' on Hardware and streaming it to your device. Therefore it has Hardware to run it - so you can now play Warzone without downloading, installing and running on your own hardware - especially if some hardware - like Mobiles, tablets etc can't run it 'natively' at at least 60fps and 'decent' visuals for the Hardware...
@BAMozzy Darn, what a thoughtful addition. A crappy game, now with massive input lag! Truly a classic Xbox moment.
Well, I can't come up with anything nice to say, so just posting that it sure is autumn weather today.
Counting cloud additions of games that are already on PC/Xbox gets my hopes up haha.
Honestly I see 2 additions that aren't f2p or have already been on gamepass: South park and mech warrior.
Gamepass is pretty good problem isnt gampass it's xbox in general there's nothing exclusive wise it's been terrible since the series x was released I still think halo and forza horizon are by far the best exclusives on xbox starfield is poor and the rest aren't up to much either counting exclusives Indian jones is being released on the ps5 and so is stalker 2 what's the point of having an xbox??
Reactor online.
Sensors online.
Weapons online.
All systems nominal.
GREAT get by Melissa McGamepass this month.
Strong month for me on both console and PC (never played SC2). I'm curious about which games people would like to see coming to gamepass cause it looks like most are never happy. Maybe Mario or Zelda
@fbnaulin Thanks, that's been fixed now. Drop me a tag in the future if you spot anything - easiest way for me to be notified
@FraserG sure! I forgot to tag you. Have a nice day.
Donut County already coming back? Left the service on Jan 31st 2023. I knew I finished it, but that return is quite fast, no?
