On October 9, Xbox published its schedule of games slated for the week of October 12–16, 2026. The lineup brings together adventures, simulators, rhythm games, and co-op offerings, with several titles marked for Game Pass. Dates are subject to change, and the announcement does not detail prices or regional availability in Mexico.
October 12 and 13: rhythm, exploration, and simulation
On Monday, October 12, Xbox lists Alpha Nomos and Colorbound, both identified as Xbox Play Anywhere titles. The first combines music-synchronized combat with a roguelite structure; the second offers platforming and puzzles solved using colors. They are two distinct entries on the schedule: one focused on timing attacks and the other on altering the environment.
For Tuesday, October 13, Deep Dish Dungeon and Valor Mortis appear with the Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere labels. According to Xbox’s listings, Deep Dish Dungeon lets you explore solo or with up to two friends, gather resources, and upgrade a camp. Valor Mortis focuses on combat involving blocks and evasive moves, with a soldier from the Grande Armée as its protagonist.
Planet Zoo 2 is also listed for October 13 and identified as an Xbox Play Anywhere title, but it does not have a Game Pass label on this schedule. Xbox describes a zoo-management sequel featuring fully aquatic and flying species, as well as customizable wildlife reserves. Just Dance: Decades of Hits shares the date and features an Adventure mode that spans different musical decades.
October 14 and 15: co-op and games for gatherings
Wednesday, October 14, brings Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea, which blends farming activities with exploration, and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, announced with a single-player campaign featuring branching paths. For those looking to play with others, Ratatan is also slated for that day: its listing combines side-scrolling action and rhythm, with online co-op for up to four players.
On Thursday, October 15, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse appears with Xbox Play Anywhere and a story set in Paris in 1499, starring Trevor and Rose Belmont. That same day, Bluey’s Happy Snaps is listed for Game Pass, Smart Delivery, and Xbox Play Anywhere. Its gameplay revolves around taking photos, and it supports a second player exploring alongside Bluey and Bingo.
Other group-play options for October 15 include Chained Beasts, marked for Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere, and The Jackbox Party Pack 12. The first features co-op combat for one to four players. Jackbox brings together five new games; Xbox says only one person needs to own the game, and participants use phones as controllers.
October 16: Game Pass and Call of Duty early access
For Friday, October 16, Beyond These Stars is marked for Game Pass. Its premise is to build a city on a space whale and manage both the needs of its residents and the relationship with the creature. Xbox also dates Tales of Eternia Remastered for that day and lists Xbox Play Anywhere for Tenebris Somnia, a horror adventure featuring live-action scenes.
The date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 requires a distinction: Xbox announces early access to the campaign starting October 16 for those who preorder, while the global launch is scheduled for the 23rd. It is therefore not a full release during this week. Its listing includes Xbox Play Anywhere, but does not present it as a Game Pass addition.
