Battlefield 6 and Valor Mortis join Game Pass on October 13 for Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. Xbox’s October announcement lists nine additions across October 8–16, with different eligibility by tier and platform.

Battlefield 6 is entering the service after its original release. Valor Mortis is a day-one addition, bringing the Ghostrunner creators’ first-person action to a supernatural setting. Neither is listed as a Premium addition in this wave.

All nine additions

The schedule below preserves Xbox’s platform and subscription distinctions. Cloud access means streamed play, rather than a native version for every device.

In the Tiers column, PC means PC Game Pass, which covers PC play. Console and cloud access in these rows require Ultimate or, where listed, Premium. “Handheld” identifies games optimized for supported handheld devices.

Check both your tier and device

Neon Abyss 2 is the one title in this new wave also listed for Premium. The other eight specify Ultimate or PC Game Pass. Beyond These Stars is PC-only in the announcement, making the platform column as important as the subscription label.

Cloud access also has separate conditions. Xbox has announced monthly streaming allowances from November. Those limits are separate from catalog availability and do not apply to playing an installed game locally.

03

Nine games leave October 15

Xbox’s general departure list names A Plague Tale: Requiem, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Crime Scene Cleaner, Donut County, Evil West, Nova Roma, Pacific Drive, Superball and The Casting of Frank Stone for October 15. Keeping their files installed does not preserve subscription access after they leave.

Minecraft Dungeons II is already available through Game Pass, and Xbox highlights it alongside Gears of War: E-Day as an earlier arrival.
