Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and indie horror hits lead October’s second Game Pass drop

Microsoft has finalized its Xbox Game Pass lineup for the remainder of October 2026, bringing a mix of high-profile RPGs and acclaimed indie titles to the service. According to reporting from Eurogamer, the second wave of additions includes the long-awaited arrival of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, alongside console debuts for two standout indie experiences.

New additions and platform debuts

Starting October 21 with the addition of Sandustry for Game Pass Premium, the list expands significantly toward the end of the month. The Séance of Blake Manor arrives on October 27, bringing its supernatural, 19th-century Irish mystery to cloud, console, and PC. Eurogamer previously highlighted this title as “fantastically atmospheric” and “incredibly tense” in their coverage of 2025 releases.

On October 29, the service sees a substantial influx of games including Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, the horror title Mouthwashing, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, and Terrible Lizards. Mouthwashing, a PS1-inspired, time-hopping space horror game, was lauded by Eurogamer as a “wildly inventive” experience. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, which first arrived on Xbox earlier this year, rounds out the headline additions before Pit of Goblin joins the library on November 3.

Departing titles

With new games comes the scheduled departure of several titles. On October 31, a significant list of games will exit the service, including notable LucasArts classics and co-op favorites. Players have until the end of the month to wrap up any time in Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Grim Fandango Remastered, Full Throttle Remastered, and the popular co-op shooter Deep Rock Galactic. Other departures include Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Football Manager 26 – Console Edition, Dead Static Drive, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Wartales, and Wildgate.

Why it matters

The arrival of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is a major win for subscribers who haven’t yet dipped into the Remake trilogy, especially given its relatively recent debut on the platform. Indie horror fans have plenty to look forward to with the addition of Mouthwashing and the supernatural mystery of The Séance of Blake Manor.

However, the end-of-month departure list is particularly heavy, removing high-replayability titles like Deep Rock Galactic and major franchise entries like Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. If you have been making progress in these games, make sure to finish them before they exit the service on October 31.
