A handful of great games joins an already hefty catalog of strong titles, while a few favorites ready themselves for departure.

Xbox Game Pass is consistently one of the best deals in gaming, and one that seems only to get better as time marches on. Now that we’re almost halfway through October, Microsoft has shared all of the games coming to and leaving the service this month.

On top of the additions above, Bethesda and id Software’s Doom Eternal released for the console version of Game Pass on October 1. It will be coming to PC sometime later, though neither Microsoft nor Bethesda have said when as of this writing. 

With Age of Empires 3 invading the service, the entire remastered Age of Empires franchise is now on Game Pass (can we expect Age of Mythology any time soon?). Tales of Vesperia DE joins Dragon Quest XI S, Disgaea 4 Complete+, and Final Fantasy IX, among others, to round out a growing catalog of JRPG selections. And Katana Zero and Scourebringer add to a hefty collection of indies on the service. 

Game Pass is available in several packages. The console version of Game Pass costs $9.99 a month, while the PC version costs $4.99 a month. Game Pass Ultimate, which bundles the console version of the service with the PC version, as well as xCloud, costs a measly $14.99.
