Xbox Game Pass October 2026 Wave 2: FFVII Intergrade, Tiers and Departures

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade joins Xbox Game Pass on October 29, 2026, according to Microsoft’s October 20 second-wave announcement. It is listed for Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass, across cloud, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC.

The schedule also includes The Séance of Blake Manor on October 27 and Mouthwashing on October 29, with further arrivals stretching into November. The tiers matter: not every game in this announcement is included with Premium, and Sandustry’s change is a Premium expansion rather than a first arrival across all plans.

October wave-two dates, platforms and tiers

These are Xbox Wire’s announced dates. Series X/S below means Xbox Series X and Series S; PC Game Pass is the subscription’s name. Platform groups describe the announced game and do not mean every listed plan includes cloud access or every device.

Xbox’s handheld label means optimized for handheld play. It does not announce a separate native console edition. For Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, the source uses the broader label console; that should not be silently replaced with a narrower hardware list.

The announcement specifically marks Scramble Knights Online and Terrible Lizards as day-one additions. That label is not a description of every game in the table. Xbox added Mouthwashing to the article after its October 20 showcase reveal; our console-release report covers that game’s separate platform and physical-edition details.

What is Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade?

Intergrade is the enhanced edition of Final Fantasy VII Remake, the opening part of the remake project. It follows Cloud Strife in Midgar and includes FF7R EPISODE INTERmission, the Yuffie-led adventure described on Square Enix’s official product page.

October 29 is its Game Pass arrival, not its original launch. Square Enix’s January 22, 2026 release announcement already confirmed the Xbox versions earlier this year. This listing does not put Rebirth or Revelation into the same subscription offer.

Which games leave Game Pass on October 31?

Xbox lists nine departures, each labeled for cloud, console and PC:

• Day of the Tentacle Remastered
• Dead Static Drive
• Deep Rock Galactic
• Full Throttle Remastered
• Grim Fandango Remastered
• Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
• Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
• Wartales
• Wildgate

There is a second departure date: November 10 for Football Manager 26 (PC) and Football Manager 26 – Console Edition (cloud, console and PC). Those are separate listings, not two names for one platform version.

A library departure is a change to subscription availability. The announcement is not a blanket statement about existing purchases, save portability, discounts or every country’s access rights.

Updates, perks and local access

The Elder Scrolls Online: Echoes of Skyrim update and The Finals and World of Tanks Modern Armor benefits appear in separate update/perk sections. They are not additional newly joining games in this lineup.

Xbox supplies dates, platforms and plan names, but no single worldwide unlock hour or exhaustive territory schedule. Check the official listing for your country and your plan’s current terms before relying on a particular way to play.
