Gears of War: E-Day arrives on 6 October 2026 with Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere support, alongside STAR WARS: Galactic Racer, Xbox Wire said on Friday (2 October 2026).
The weekly release list also puts Echo Weaver on Game Pass on 8 October, with Xbox Play Anywhere support. Xbox warns that the listed release dates may change.
E-Day features an origin-story campaign with Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago, set fourteen years before the original Gears of War. Its multiplayer includes the PvE mode Horde Siege and Versus PvP, and the game uses Unreal Engine 5.
STAR WARS: Galactic Racer takes a runs-based approach to racing in the Outer Rim. Its setting centres on the Galactic League, an unsanctioned circuit where syndicates sponsor pilots.
Also due on 6 October, KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I～III] bundles KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-, KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and KINGDOM HEARTS III + Re Mind (DLC). Xbox lists Play Anywhere support for the collection.
Echo Weaver is a knowledge-based Metroidvania built around an unravelling time loop. Players use time-altering anomalies and what they learn to try to break the cycle.
The 8 October releases also include Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, a first-person action horror survival game, and Gear.Club Unlimited 3. The racing game features roads in Japan and on the French Mediterranean coast, more than 40 cars and customisation covering paint, bodywork, rims and mechanical performance.
PAPERHEAD and Sesame Street: Friends & Fun follow on 9 October. PAPERHEAD mixes a movement-focused shooter with adventure horror, while Sesame Street: Friends & Fun features Elmo, Tango and other Sesame Street characters.
