What you need to know
- The latest batch of games heading to Xbox Game Pass tiers have been revealed.
- All subscribers can look forward to Kung Fu brawler Sifu and deceptive card game Inscryption.
- Meanwhile, Standard-tier users are getting MLB The Show 24 and Open Roads.
There's a new batch of games on the way to subscribers of Microsoft's gaming subscription service.
The first wave of games coming to Xbox Game Pass in October 2024 includes Sloclap's martial arts revenge story Sifu, as shared via Xbox Wire on Tuesday. This stylish brawler first came to Xbox consoles in March 2023, letting players master different moves as they age each time they're defeated.
Another notable addition for the month is Inscryption. On the surface, Inscryption is a creepy roguelike card-battling game from Daniel Mullins Games. There's much, much more to the experience though, and it's best to go in unspoiled.
Below, you can find the full list of games being added to different Xbox Game Pass tiers:
October 2
- MLB The Show 24 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) - Standard
- Open Roads (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) - Standard
- Sifu (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Windows PC) - Ultimate, Standard, PC
October 7
- Mad Streets (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Windows PC) - Ultimate, Standard, PC
October 10
- Inscryption (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Windows PC) - Ultimate, Standard, PC
What's leaving Xbox Game Pass on October 15?
As usual, there's a handful of games departing Xbox Game Pass at the halfway point of the month. If you want to keep playing these games after they depart, then you'll need to buy them. You get a discount buying any games while they're still in Game Pass, so take advantage of that fact and save money. Here's the list of games leaving on October 15:
- Dyson Sphere Program
- Everspace 2
- From Space
- F1 Manager 2023
- Scorn

Looking ahead, Activision Publishing's Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is slated to arrive on Oct. 30, 2024, bringing the first-ever Call of Duty title launch day one in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate just over a year after Microsoft finalized its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
PC users can look forward to even more Activision Blizzard titles right around the corner, with classic strategy titles StarCraft Remastered and the StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection coming to PC Game Pass in November 2024.
