Microsoft has recently announced its Xbox Game Pass lineup for October 2025 following a significant price increase for the Ultimate subscription. The monthly cost has jumped from $19.99 to $29.99, leading to mixed reactions from subscribers. To justify this 50% hike, Microsoft is offering more first-day game releases and enhanced cloud gaming features. Despite this expanded lineup, a poll indicated that over half of the voters are reconsidering their subscription, with many expressing dissatisfaction over the recent changes. Key titles to expect this month include Baldur's Gate, Ninja Gaiden 4, and the new game Ball x Pit. This change comes after other pricing adjustments for Xbox games and accessories this year.

What new games are being added to Xbox Game Pass in October 2025?

This month, subscribers can look forward to exciting titles such as Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Editions, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Evil West, among others. These games will be available across various platforms including Cloud, Console, and PC.

The Enhanced Editions have brought this beloved title to modern platforms with improved graphics and additional content, further solidifying its status in gaming history. Baldur's Gate II continues this legacy, providing players with an extensive narrative and character development that fans cherish.
