Xbox has a dynamic mix of game releases, delistings, and price changes this October.
October 2026 finds Xbox enthusiasts with a full docket as both new games and delistings hit the scene. Today, several new titles are hitting Xbox Game Pass, along with a few important withdrawals and price adjustments worth mentioning.
New Game Releases Boost Game Pass
Xbox Game Pass subscribers have reason to celebrate as today brings five new game releases to the fore. Marking the highlights is a twisted new first-person Soulslike, adding to an already diverse Xbox lineup. Pure Xbox reports that alongside this much-anticipated title are two other day-one releases. Additionally, the popular military FPS, Battlefield 6, makes its debut on the service, offering players a fresh battlefield to conquer.
The previous day saw the release of two other games, most notably Alpha Nomos, a rhythm-action adventure that echoes the combat style of Hi-Fi RUSH, as reported by Pure Xbox.
Game Delistings: A Loss and a Mystery
Not all news is about new arrivals; some titles are set to say farewell. In a Pure Xbox report, Fortnite Rocket Racing has already been removed as of October 1st. NBA 2K25 is expected to follow suit on October 30th, as the servers for the game are scheduled to go offline by the end of December. Two more unnamed games are anticipated to leave the scene within October, though further information on these remains elusive.
Price Adjustments: Permanent Cuts
In a rare event of adjustment on the digital marketplace, Pure Xbox notes a noteworthy price reduction for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. This permanent price cut sees the game’s cost drop significantly, potentially attracting new racers to its tracks.
Content Expansion
Lastly, for those invested in the world of Ravenswatch, the game expands its horizons with the Kintaro DLC. Detailed by The Xbox Hub, this update promises a “bear-sized beatdown” as new playable content, likely adding hours of entertainment for fans of the game.
October presents a mixed bag for Xbox players with exciting new releases, some losses in the library, and unexpected price cuts, keeping the platform’s offerings both lively and unpredictable.
