As we always do around this time of the month, we're taking a look today at what's ahead for October 2025's Xbox Game Pass selection, with six titles having been confirmed for the library next month so far.
As it stands, we already know about three Xbox Game Studios titles - including Obsidian's third release of the year in The Outer Worlds 2, and Double Fine's return to the scene with Keeper.
Of course, we'll keep you in the loop about October 2025's Xbox Game Pass titles as they continue to be announced over the coming weeks, but for now, let's take a look at the six games that have been revealed for next month already:
Ball x Pit (October 15)
"BALL x PIT is a brick-breaking, ball-fusing, base-building survival roguelite. Batter hordes of enemies with ricocheting balls and gather the riches of the pit to expand your homestead, generate resources and recruit unique heroes."
Keeper (October 17)
"From Lee Petty and Double Fine Productions, Keeper is a story told without words in which a long-forgotten lighthouse is awakened and, joined by a spirited seabird, embarks upon a heartening tale of unlikely companionship and an unexpected journey into realms beyond understanding."
Ninja Gaiden 4 (October 21)
"WHERE SHADOWS FALL, LEGENDS RISE. The definitive ninja action-adventure franchise returns with NINJA GAIDEN 4! Embark on a cutting-edge adventure where legacy meets innovation in a high-octane blend of style and no-holds-barred combat."
Bounty Star (October 23)
"Bounty Star is an over-the-shoulder 3D action game that marries mech combat and customization with farming and base building. The player takes on the role of a broken but powerful ex-soldier named Clem, a war veteran, talented fighter and expert mech pilot. Clem attempts to shed the guilt and shame of her past and become a legitimate force for good in the Red Expanse, a post-post-apocalyptic version of the American Southwest."
Moonlighter 2 for PC (October 23)
"Live the double life of a fearless adventurer and a crafty merchant! Dive into vibrant dimensions brimming with shiny loot and pesky enemies. Grow your shop, tinker with weapons and gadgets, as well as make your mark among a ragtag community of castaways."
The Outer Worlds 2 (October 29)
"As a daring and most likely good-looking Earth Directorate agent, you must uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, rests on your decisions—your strengths, your flaws, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust."

I playing the first The Outer Worlds to prepare for the second one.
Maybe I'll do the same with Ninja Gaiden, but only with 3.
Ninja Gaiden 4 & Outter World's 2, finally two decent games, especially The fact that it's not some 2D indie mess. Nothing I'm gonna play but at least there are two decent games compared to the usually crap. Ninja Garden games be too much & I'm not a fan of FPS games unless it's a PvP.
The keeper stands out to me as something I'd definitely play im on the fence about outer worlds I'll see when it drops the reaction!
But a very strong month so far with definitely more to be added!
Gamepass this year is unbelievable!!
Wow big month for Xbox! NG4, OW2, and Keeper
That’s a great month! I’m up for all of these
The Outer Worlds 2 is the big one for me & will certainly be playing that as I preordered it.
I am intrigued by Bounty Star and I will be giving that a look at the very least. The art style reminds me of early Borderlands games & it has mechs, heck to the yeah!
Keeper is the one that most interests me. I may try Outer Worlds. I've never played the first one but can see myself giving 2 a try.
Outer Worlds 1 was the first time I remember a big game I was anticipating launched day one into game pass. It was also the reason I HAD to upgrade my One S to Series X at launch. Those load times almost broke me lol
This is a very good lineup, although NG4 is not for me, I'm super excited about Keeper, Double Fine is brain candy, and Ball x Pit looks kind of insane in a good way
The Outer Worlds 2 is one of my most anticipated games of the year can’t wait! But also, Ninja Gaiden 4, Keeper and Bounty Star, very very solid month.
Keeper, Moonlighter 2, Ninja Gaiden 4 AND The Outer Worlds 2. I can't keep up!
Ball x Pit is an awful name, and looks like an HD version of the AI game you see ads for on YouTube. Still if it's on Game Pass there's probably something about it, their curation is excellent!
Moonlighter had me massively excited and then I forgot it was for PC only for a while lol That to the side though, there's SO much going on in October for XGP that it's easy to overlook.
Ninja Gaiden 4 & Outer World's 2
For me. 2 hopefully great games.
Gonna give Ball x Pit a go, thank you once again for the insight.
@Lup Ninja Gaiden 2 Black was fantastic. The story in the series doesn't matter much — there are demon lords coming to take over Earth, and Ryu must stop them. I've got to go back and finish OG Ninja Gaiden Black.
Bring on Ninja Gaiden 4 baby! My body is ready.
Could be the single best month of drops on Gamepass that we’ve ever seen. Going to try all of these games at least! Hope one of them is a hit for me.
October feels like it has 90% of this year’s release schedule jammed into it.
Mate this is a far cry from "xbox has no games" Keeper Definitely, also Ninja Gaiden and you bet Outerworlds 2 (beat the last one not long ago as was suprised how much i liked it)
Excellent! I'm curious about Keeper and I'll definitely play Ninja Gaiden 4. The Outer Worlds 2 is one many were waiting for and it finally came.
wow.. Keeper seems to be .. something !!
I'm waiting for it !!!
yes and the two big games physical releases are a code in a box, so no thanks, ..
save some money i suppose.
Excellent, most excellent. This is another fantastic month for GamePass.
Need. More.Time. To keep up!
Keeper is definitely the (erm) keeper here. I love its style and I'm genuinely interested in what they have done!
Keeper and Outworlds 2 (still need to get back To Ninja Gaiden 1, beat it on original xbox but that was a hot minute ago 🤣)
