Summary
- MechWarrior 5: Clans is joining Xbox Game Pass on October 17.

The upcoming MechWarrior 5: Clans is joining the Xbox Game Pass lineup on Thursday, October 17. Microsoft has yet to announce the Wave 2 Xbox Game Pass games, but when it does, MechWarrior 5: Clans is going to be a part of the announcement.
October 2024 has been a relatively slow month for Xbox Game Pass, with only a few games having joined the service so far. Sifu was added to Xbox Game Pass on October 2, Mad Streets joined on October 7, and Inscryption is available as of October 10. Xbox Game Pass will be adding more games in the second half of October 2024, but the full scope of what's on the way has yet to be revealed.
Xbox Game Pass Adds Hit Game With 'Overwhelmingly Positive' Reviews
Xbox Game Pass adds a hit game with over 110,000 'Overwhelmingly Positive' player reviews to its ever-growing content library.
While fans still don't know everything coming to Xbox Game Pass in the second half of October 2024, they do know of at least one other title. It's now been confirmed that MechWarrior 5: Clans is joining Xbox Game Pass on October 17. A sequel to MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, Clans is a mech game with a full-blown campaign, online co-op, and multiplayer support. The previous installment earned mixed reviews from critics, and so it will be interesting to see how they react to Clans when it releases on October 17.
Xbox Game Pass Games Coming Soon in October 2024
- MechWarrior 5: Clans - October 17
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 - October 25
It wasn't specified in the announcement, but it can be safely assumed that MechWarrior 5: Clans will be coming to PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate specifically. Microsoft recently changed its Xbox Game Pass tiers so that the vast majority of day one games skip the Standard option and go straight to Ultimate. Unless it's an exception, the same will likely hold true for MechWarrior 5: Clans. Unfortunately for those who aren't signed up for the Ultimate tier, they will be missing out on another big game joining the service in the second half of October 2024 as well.
Besides MechWarrior 5: Clans, the only other October 2024 Wave 2 Xbox Game Pass game is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be releasing on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on the day of its release, October 25. It will be skipping Xbox Game Pass Standard, but since one needs online multiplayer access to really get the most out of Black Ops 6 anyway (one of Ultimate's benefits), it shouldn't be an issue for most players looking to play the new Call of Duty with their subscription.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the highest tier of Microsoft's flagship game subscription service that offers over 100 game titles that you can play with a single purchase, making it one of the most outstanding value propositions of the Xbox ecosystem to date.
