Xbox has confirmed the next batch of games coming to Xbox Game Pass for October 2025, which is also the first batch of titles to come in under the new changes Microsoft and Xbox recently made to the service, specifically the fact that prices were raised by 50% for a Game Pass subscription.
Twelve games will join the now more expensive subscription service over the course of October, with three titles set to exit the service; as the cycle is always that with new games entering, old games leave. Some of the highlights for games entering this month include Ninja Gaiden 4, the first new entry in the Ninja Gaiden series in years, which is also launching into the service for those subscribed to the top Ultimate tier of Game Pass.
Ball x Pit is another of the 12 games that is launching into the service on day one, with Double Fine Productions’ new game, Keeper, rounding out the three games launching into Xbox Game Pass this month.
Other titles not launching day one into the service, but still notable, include the return of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Evil West, Pax Dei, Eternal Strands, and a preview for RPG auto-battler, He Is Coming.
Here’s a list of all the games arriving in Game Pass this month, the dates they’ll come, where they’re playable, and which tiers they’ll be available for, since each tier now only gets access to a certain number of games.
