Microsoft has announced the Xbox Game Pass October 2024 Wave 1 lineup of games subscribers can expect to see them through to October 10.
As revealed by Xbox Wire, three games join Game Pass on October 2: MLB The Show 24 (Console) via Game Pass Standard; Open Roads (Console) via Game Pass Standard; and Sifu (Cloud, Console, and PC) via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard.
Then, on October 7, Mad Streets (Cloud, Console, and PC) launches via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard.
Rounding out Wave 1 on October 10 we have Inscryption (Cloud, Console, and PC) via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard.
It’s worth noting that all five October 2024 Wave 1 lineup games are available for Game Pass Standard subscribers, after Microsoft drew criticism for skipping the basic tier with last month’s initial Wave 2 lineup.
Xbox Game Pass October 2024 Wave 1 Lineup:
- MLB The Show 24 (Console) – October 2 Game Pass Standard
- Open Roads (Console) – October 2 Game Pass Standard

While this announcement covers Wave 1 of October 2024, we know more of what’s coming to Game Pass later on in the month. Perhaps the biggest game ever to hit Game Pass will be Activision’s shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 when it launches day-one on October 25. Black Ops 6 is the first Call of Duty game to launch day and date on Game Pass following Microsoft’s $69 billion aquisition of Activision Blizzard.
And, looking further ahead, StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection hit Game Pass on November 5.
Microsoft also announced five games leaving Game Pass on October 15:
