Xbox and PC Game Pass for October 2025 Wave 1 - Notable Picks for this Month

Wave 2 of September 2025 had decent inclusions, but the first wave for October is a bigger upgrade as we have new day one titles coming in the first half of the month.

We have the survival roguelite Ball x Pit coming on day one, a well as Doublefine’s latest game Keeper. The big one is Ninja Gaiden 4, the next mainline entry in the series.

This wave also adds the first two Baldur’s Gate games, as well as The Casting of Frank Stone, a story-focused game set in the Dead by Daylight world.

Here’s the full list.

Games Leaving Game Pass on October 15

As games are added, others leave, but this is an interesting batch that I for sure thought would stay around, as we are losing three Ninja Gaiden games. You’d think they would stick around with Ninja Gaiden 4 just around the corner and also being available on the service, but here we are. Here’s the full list:

• Cocoon (Cloud, Console, and PC)

• Core Keeper (Cloud, Console, and PC)

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutants Unleashed (Cloud, Console, and PC)

Last week, Microsoft stunned the world when it all of a sudden increased the price of all Xbox and PC Game Pass prices and changed the names of its tiers. This makes the highest Game Pass tier 50% more expensive, or worse, depending on your region, as PC Game Pass for those in the Philippines was increased by a whopping 83%.
