It’s almost time for another monthly roundup of titles available on Game pass – This time, it’s the October 2024 edition. Game Pass is Microsoft’s proprietary subscription service for the distribution of games. Available in several tiers, it provides access to hundreds of games on both Xbox consoles and PC, available either for direct download or cloud streaming for a monthly fee. Once an archive of classic Xbox games, Game Pass has since evolved to include many day-one releases, and gets tons of new games every month.
But in order to make room for all the new games, Some older titles must leave the service. Some games eventually return, though it’s rare. However, subscribers can purchase departing games at a significant discount, just in case they can’t finish a particular title in time. As a result, it is best to be informed about the expiration date of a game before you start. To that end, here’s everything confirmed to be coming to and leaving Game Pass in October 2024.
Only one game is coming to Game Pass in October so far – but it’s a big one
Black Ops 6 will be a day-one game pass release
TThe only game confirmed for Game Pass in October 2024 (so far) is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6Which is expected to arrive on the service October 25 as a day-one release. This is the last in the monumental call of duty series, a first-person shooter with a single-player campaign and a wide variety of multiplayer modes. In particular, the Black ops Subseries is known for its Zombies game mode, in which players fight to survive against increasingly powerful waves of bloodthirsty undead.

This is the first Code Title to come to Game Pass on day one – Previous entries in the series were instead released through the usual avenues of digital and brick-and-mortar stores. Recent entries, however, have offered some multiplayer features for free, but required players to purchase the game to play through the campaign. This is a bold new release strategy for the franchise, and the consequences will only become clear later Black Ops 6s release.
