Xbox Game Pass Confirms 5 More Games For October 2024

Key Takeaways

  • Xbox Game Pass confirmed five more games for October 2024.
  • Two of them, MLB The Show 24 and Open Roads, are Game Pass Standard releases that have already been available on higher tiers of the service since March 2024.
  • The remaining three are Sifu, Mad Streets, and Inscryption.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of both excitement and frustration when it comes to the latest Xbox Game Pass announcements. On one hand, the addition of five new games to the service is always welcome news. Games like Sifu, Mad Streets, and Inscryption are intriguing titles that I’ve been eagerly anticipating.


In October 2024, it’s been announced that “Sifu” and four other games will be added to Xbox Game Pass. These new additions are set to appear on the service in the initial part of the month.

Previously, Microsoft’s subscription service additions were generally straightforward, with everyone having access to all offerings as the exceptions primarily concerned games not compatible with all Xbox Game Pass-supported platforms. However, after a recent overhaul of the Xbox Game Pass tiers, only users subscribed to PC Game Pass or the Ultimate tier will have access to day-one releases.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Confirms 3 More Games for October 2024

While Microsoft officially unveiled five new games joining Xbox Game Pass in October 2024, only three are entirely fresh additions to the service: martial arts game Sifu, party title Mad Streets, and deck-building roguelike Inscryption. The initial batch of October 2024 releases also encompasses baseball sim MLB The Show 24 and narrative-driven adventure Open Roads. These games initially joined Xbox Game Pass in March 2024 but were removed from its console library following Microsoft’s restructuring of its subscription tiers as they were day-one releases.

Individuals who have maintained their Game Pass Console subscriptions since before the update were carried over to their original plans, allowing them to continue enjoying titles like MLB The Show 24 and Open Roads even after the plan revision. However, those who joined with a Standard subscription after the change will only have access to these games starting October 2.

As a gamer, I’ve been thrilled about the addition of games like “Open Roads” and “MLB The Show 24” to the basic tier of the service in a timely manner. However, it’s essential to remember that this swift inclusion isn’t a given for every future game. Microsoft has shared that day-one Xbox Game Pass titles might take at least half a year to reach the Standard tier of the service. They emphasized that each release will be evaluated individually.

The freshly verified additions will soon be accompanied by “Black Ops 6”. The upcoming “Call of Duty” installment is planned to hit Xbox Game Pass on October 25, debuting as a day-one release exclusive for the Ultimate and PC versions of Microsoft’s service. We anticipate the unveiling of the second batch of this month’s Xbox Game Pass releases around mid-October 2024.
