Game Pass For October Is Getting Rounded Off With The Biggest Activision Games Yet

Game Pass is having its biggest month ever, and it’s all thanks to the return of Donut County. The chill title is one of, if not the best, games about dropping stuff in holes. The month also starts the biggest Activision drop yet with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and more.

Supposedly, most folks care about the latter than the former. It’s their loss, to be frank. Still, Microsoft and Xbox are rounding off October 2024 with some of the most significant games from the Activision Blizzard roster. And that’s cool if you’re into it. Before that, you should try Donut County. It’s really good.

Game Pass October starts the biggest Activision invasion so far

The Activision list is looking beefy. Two Call of Duty games are going on the road with Cloud gaming. Xbox is also teasing StarCraft and its sequel, but those won’t appear until the first week of November. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a day-on launch title available on Cloud, PC, and Console.

Activision games coming to Game Pass this month:

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (October 25)
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (October 25) – Cloud
• Call of Duty: Warzone (October 25) – Cloud
• StarCraft Remastered (November 5)
• StarCraft II: Campaign Collection (November 5)

If you’re not interested in the above, Game Pass will host other options for you. The boys are back in town on October 16 with the inclusion of South Park: The Fractured but Whole. Donut County, the highlight of the month, is arriving on October 17. MechWarrior 5: Clans also arrives on October 17 as a day-one launch title.

Several more games will be available after the big Call of Duty wave. Ashen, like Donut County, also returns to Game Pass this month. You can play it again on October 29. Dead Island 2 is making its debut on Game Pass starting October 31, but only for PC players.

Games leaving Game Pass at the end of October 2024

As usual, Game Pass also removes a handful of titles at the end of the month. Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery, Headbangers, Inkulinati, Lonely Mountain’s Downhill, and Mineko’s Night Market will bow out on October 31. If you’ve been planning on playing any of the aforementioned games, consider this your two-week warning.
