XBOX Game Pass adds nine games between October 8 and 16, including Battlefield 6 and seven day-one releases. See dates, platforms, and eligible plans.
The highlight of the new-game list is Battlefield 6. Coming to Game Pass Ultimate and NPC Game Pass on October 13, the latest iteration of Electronic Arts‘ first-person shooter franchise is hitting XBOX’s subscription service just days before the next Call of Duty game drops. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will not be available on Game Pass this year. Microsoft made that decision as part of a restructuring.
EA Play members can unlock the EA Play Deployment Pack, claim the Season 5 EA Play Pack, and earn recurring seasonal rewards. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers get EA Play included and 10% off other digital purchases related to Electronic Arts.
