Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2 brings nine additions or subscription-tier changes between October 21 and November 3. Microsoft’s confirmed schedule includes Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Mouthwashing, The Séance of Blake Manor and day-one launches for Scramble Knights Online and Terrible Lizards.
Not every game launches on the same date or works with the same membership. One of the nine, Sandustry, is expanding to Game Pass Premium after already being available on other tiers. The table below shows when each game joins and exactly which subscription tiers cover it.

Microsoft published the Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2 schedule on October 20, before the first new arrivals. Sandustry’s October 21 entry is specifically for the Premium tier, which matters if you’re already playing it through Ultimate or PC Game Pass. November 3’s Pit of Goblin is part of this same announcement even though its launch date falls outside October.
October 21–22: Sandustry and Dodo Duckie
Sandustry reaches Game Pass Premium on October 21. It is a PC Game Preview about mining destructible environments, automating production and uncovering a buried civilisation. Existing Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers already had access.
Dodo Duckie arrives October 22 on cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC for Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass. Its puzzle-platforming switches between 2D and 3D perspectives, following a duck attempting to rescue its kidnapped chicken friends.
October 26–27: Scramble Knights Online and Blake Manor
Scramble Knights Online launches on October 26 as a day-one Game Pass title for Ultimate and PC Game Pass. This Game Preview mixes online action RPG combat, dungeons, loot and cooperative adventures around the kingdom of Terracott. Microsoft lists cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
The Séance of Blake Manor joins October 27 for Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass. Set in 1897 Ireland, it’s a supernatural detective mystery about the disappearance of a young woman at a remote hotel. It’s one to look at if you’d rather piece together a disappearance than fight through a horror game.
Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2: Four October 29 releases
Four games join Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2 on October 29. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade brings Square Enix’s Midgar storyline and its additional story content to cloud, Series X|S and PC on Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass.
Mouthwashing joins the same day for Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass. The psychological horror game follows the stranded crew of the Tulpar, and Microsoft’s listing also specifies handheld optimisation alongside cloud, Series X|S and PC. The October 20 ID@Xbox showcase confirmed its Xbox arrival.
Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted returns the garden-defence game with an HD presentation and new levels. It’s listed for cloud, console and PC on Ultimate and PC Game Pass, not Premium in this announcement. Terrible Lizards, a day-one horror parkour title about escaping threats through movement, is also available to Ultimate and PC Game Pass members.
November 3: Pit of Goblin
Pit of Goblin is the November 3 release in the Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2 announcement. In this online cooperative horror game, your group of goblins searches dungeons, dodges traps and feeds the Goblin King-Queen. It joins Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass for cloud, Series X|S and PC.
Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2: Which plan do you need?
Most games in Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2 support Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass. The exceptions are important: Scramble Knights Online, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted and Terrible Lizards are listed only for Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Sandustry is an expansion to Premium, not a new entitlement for every tier.
Game Pass Essential is not listed for these new additions. The separate THE FINALS Welcome Pack, however, is a subscription benefit that includes Essential among its qualifying memberships. A free-to-play game benefit and a new catalogue release have different plan requirements.
Which games are leaving during Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2?
While new titles arrive, nine games leave on October 31, including Deep Rock Galactic, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Wartales and Grim Fandango Remastered. Football Manager 26 and its Console Edition have a separate November 10 deadline. Our Game Pass departures guide has the complete lists.
Several Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2 arrivals were also featured during Microsoft’s indie presentation. Our October ID@Xbox showcase recap covers Mouthwashing and the wider announcements, including games that aren’t joining Game Pass.
