Xbox Game Pass Only Has 1 New Game Confirmed for October 2024 So Far

Key Takeaways

  • Only Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is confirmed for the Xbox Game Pass October 2024 lineup so far.
  • It’s highly likely that a variety of other games will join it.
  • Some other titles will be removed from the Game Pass lineup as well.

As a hardcore gamer who has been following the Xbox Game Pass lineup for years, I must say that October 2024 seems to be shaping up as a bit of a rollercoaster ride for us subscribers. While it’s always exciting to see new titles join the roster, the recent trend of more games leaving than joining each month has been a bit disheartening.


Currently, as we speak, only one new game on the Xbox Game Pass for October 2024 that subscribers are aware of is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. New games usually join Xbox Game Pass every month, with more additions than removals. Regrettably, this isn’t the case for the Xbox Game Pass September 2024 selection.

10 new games joined Xbox Game Pass during September 2024, with the most recent addition being “Ara: History Untold“. Regrettably, by the end of September 2024, a total of 14 games will have been removed from the service. This is certainly disheartening, and it’s hoped that October 2024 won’t follow suit in this regard, but at present, only one game has been confirmed for the service next month.

As of now, it has been confirmed that “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” is the sole game in the Xbox Game Pass October 2024 roster. Scheduled for release on October 25, “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” is a production of Treyarch and includes the franchise’s classic single-player mode, player versus player multiplayer, and co-op Zombies experience. “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” promises to be one of the most anticipated new games of the entire year, and its inclusion in Xbox Game Pass on launch day is a significant advantage for the service. However, it’s important to note that there’s a condition regarding “Black Oops 6” becoming part of the Game Pass library.

New Xbox Game Pass Games for October 2024

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (PC/Xbox One/Xbox Series X) – October 25

Lately, Microsoft has adjusted the Xbox Game Pass tiers such that most games released on the same day are only accessible to those who subscribe to the Ultimate tier, PC Game Pass users, or console-only Game Pass subscribers with active subscriptions. Fresh console subscribers opting for the Standard tier might miss out on these day one games, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This could be disappointing, but since Game Pass Ultimate also offers online multiplayer access, it’s likely that most people intending to play the new Call of Duty on Xbox have already signed up for this tier.

As of now, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the only game confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in October 2024, with more titles likely to follow suit. The specific games haven’t been revealed yet, but we can expect an announcement about the October 2024 Wave 1 games within the next week. It’s also worth noting that some games will exit Xbox Game Pass in October 2024, but let’s hope there are more new additions than departures this time.
