Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will join Xbox Game Pass on October 29 for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, according to an Xbox Wire post published October 20. Megan Spurr, Senior Community Lead for Xbox Game Pass, confirmed the addition as part of a late October slate that runs from October 21 through November 3. The role-playing game arrives alongside eight other titles, but the same window also carries nine departures on October 31 and two more on November 10.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade leads the October 29 additions

Xbox Wire lists Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass. The platform list includes Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The listing does not include an Xbox One version. The game is described as an award-winning remake that retells the original story up to the escape from Midgar, using a hybrid battle system that blends real-time action and command-based combat.

The October 29 placement gives Game Pass subscribers a single date with four new options. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the highest-profile title in that group, but it shares the day with Mouthwashing, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, and Terrible Lizards. For players following the remake saga, Intergrade covers the Midgar opening, with the next chapter, Final Fantasy VII Revelation, still to come.

Eight more games fill the October 21 to November 3 wave

The slate follows the first October wave led by Battlefield 6. The first announced addition is Sandustry (Game Preview), which arrives October 21. Xbox Wire lists it for PC only. The factory and automation game has fully destructible pixel worlds, production chains, and an ancient civilization to uncover. The tier listing is unusual within this wave. Sandustry is now with Game Pass Premium and is joining Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

Dodo Duckie follows on October 22 for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass. The puzzle platformer switches between 2D and 3D using a magical cap.

Scramble Knights Online (Game Preview) arrives October 26 as a day-one MMO-lite action RPG for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It is listed for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass only, without a Premium tier listing. The game includes co-op quests, dungeons, and gear crafting in the kingdom of Terracott. The Séance of Blake Manor follows on October 27 for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass. The supernatural detective mystery is set in 1897 Ireland and follows a young woman’s disappearance.

October 29 brings four titles in total. Mouthwashing is a psychological horror game from Wrong Organ and CRITICAL REFLEX about five crew members stranded in space. It is listed for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld, and PC through Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass. Xbox Wire notes that games with a Handheld designation are optimized for handheld play.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted also arrives October 29 for Cloud, Console, and PC through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The HD remaster adds new levels to the classic game, and EA Play members can also play the title. Terrible Lizards is a day-one horror parkour debut from WDR Studios, founded by the creators behind JTMusic. It is listed for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Players escape threats with movement instead of fighting.

Pit of Goblin closes the announced wave on November 3 for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass. The online horror co-op game has players scavenging dungeons as goblins to feed the Goblin King-Queen.

Beyond the catalog games, The Elder Scrolls Online receives its Season 2 Update: Echoes of Skyrim on October 21. The update returns players to Western Skyrim with two solo dungeons and gameplay improvements. A free and premium Season Two Tamriel Tome is available until January 27.

Two in-game benefits are also part of the announcement. The Finals Welcome Pack is available now for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, Game Pass Essential, and PC Game Pass. It includes 500 Multibucks, a 25 percent Bonus XP boost, and the Pretty Hostile set, but only while the season lasts. World of Tanks Modern Armor receives an XP Stock perk on November 3 for the same four tiers, with 20 Enhanced Repair Kits, 20 Enhanced Med Kits, and 20 Automatic Fire Suppressors.

Across the nine announced game additions, Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass appear in every tier listing. Game Pass Premium appears in six of the nine announced games, including Sandustry, Dodo Duckie, The Séance of Blake Manor, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Mouthwashing, and Pit of Goblin. Scramble Knights Online, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, and Terrible Lizards are listed only for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Game Pass Essential does not appear in any game catalog tier list for this wave, but it is included in both in-game benefit offers.

Sandustry is the only announced addition limited to PC. Mouthwashing is the only title with an explicit Handheld designation. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted uses the broader Console label rather than the Xbox Series X|S label used by most other console additions in this wave. Every other title lists Cloud alongside console or PC, so cloud players can start most of these games without a local install.

Eleven departures run from October 31 through November 10

Nine games leave Game Pass on October 31. The first cluster removes Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Dead Static Drive, and Deep Rock Galactic. A second group includes Full Throttle Remastered, Grim Fandango Remastered, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The final two October 31 departures are Wartales and Wildgate. The removal ends Game Pass access to all nine on that date.

Two more titles leave on November 10. The departing titles are Football Manager 26 (PC) and Football Manager 26 – Console Edition. Their removal takes both the PC and console editions out of the subscription at the same time.

For subscribers, the consequence is immediate for any active runs. Once a game leaves Game Pass, it can no longer be launched through the subscription on the listed removal date. Players who want to finish those games need to complete them before October 31 or November 10, depending on the title.

Xbox Wire lists nine additions through November 3 and 11 departures through November 10, a net decrease of two titles for the scheduled catalog flow. That does not include catalog changes outside this announcement.

What remains unknown is whether any departing title will return later or whether purchase discounts will be offered. The Xbox Wire post confirms the removal dates and the current platform and tier information, but it does not specify return windows for the leaving games.
