And the best part? Most of these titles already have a confirmed release window or date.

Obsidian, Ninja Theory, Team Ninja, and other big-name studios will once again take center stage in a catalog that, if all goes as planned, will close out the year with a bang on both Xbox Series and PC, as well as in the cloud.

Many of these games will be available on Game Pass from day one, as is customary with first-party releases and some key Microsoft collaborations with third-party developers.

With no additional announcements for November and December, the pace of releases on Game Pass not only shows no signs of slowing down but is actually poised to close out 2025 with one of its strongest final stretches to date.
