Coming Soon to Xbox Game Pass: The Outer Worlds 2, PowerWash Simulator 2, and Football Manager 26 Headline a Massive Fall Lineup

A Stellar Lineup Hits Xbox Game Pass

Xbox fans are in for a jam-packed close to October as Microsoft announces one of the most stacked Game Pass waves of the year, headlined by The Outer Worlds 2, PowerWash Simulator 2, and Football Manager 26.​

The Xbox Game Pass highlights include new entries in beloved franchises, experimental indie titles, and expanded new content for existing favorites, all dropping across console, PC, and Cloud.

Available Now: Commandos Return and Flight Simulator Soars

Commandos: Origins is available today on all Game Pass tiers, bringing the classic real-time tactics experience back with six legendary soldiers and online co-op. Meanwhile, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 lets players chase dynamic career paths with realistic missions and aircraft simulation more detailed than ever before. Both titles are available now for Game Pass Premium subscribers.​

Coming October 23 – Power and Precision

PowerWash Simulator 2 returns on October 23, bringing new locations, tools, and multiplayer features in this oddly satisfying cleaning sandbox. The sequel bubbles with charm, letting players relax while scrubbing away grime with friends or solo. Dropping the same day, Bounty Star mixes mechs and farming in a hybrid action-sim that follows Clem—a battle-tested veteran seeking redemption in a dusty, postwar desert world.​

October 24–29: Roguelites and Space Adventures

Fans of roguelite adventures should keep an eye on Super Fantasy Kingdom (October 24), a strategy hybrid where players rebuild kingdoms while battling waves of monsters. Then, Halls of Torment arrives October 28, testing your endurance in survival-horde scenarios steeped in gothic RPG style.

The biggest drop of the month lands on October 29, when The Outer Worlds 2 launches with Game Pass on day one. The sequel builds on Obsidian Entertainment’s cult sci-fi RPG legacy, delivering a new world, crew, and system-spanning storyline. Preorders for the Premium Upgrade Edition grant up to five days early access and bonus packs for diehard fans.​

November Kickoff: Football Manager 26 and 1000xResist

November 4 will see Football Manager 26 arriving for both PC and console players, complete with a Unity-powered overhaul, revamped matchday realism, and immersive UI. The same day, sci-fi thriller 1000xResist launches, introducing a dystopian future where humanity battles alien plagues and buried secrets beneath the surface.​

Don’t Miss These Ongoing Favorites

Rounding out the update, Ninja Gaiden 4 delivers the return of an iconic hack-and-slash franchise, while Heroes of Might and Magic II & III bring strategic nostalgia for classic PC fans. Sea of Thieves: Season 17 Act 3 also expands the pirate sandbox with new fort raids and ghost ship showdowns.

Games leaving the library on October 31 include Jusant, Metal Slug Tactics, and Return to Monkey Island, so subscribers have until the end of the month to wrap them up—or buy them at up to a 20% discount before they’re gone.​

A Season of Nonstop Releases

With flagship sequels like The Outer Worlds 2, zen favorites like PowerWash Simulator 2, and the managerial mastery of Football Manager 26, Xbox Game Pass continues to prove its value heading into the holiday season. Whether you’re piloting planes in Flight Simulator 2024 or commanding squads in Commandos: Origins, there’s truly something for every kind of gamer this October.
