The third Tuesday of the month is here, which means new titles to Game Pass. Another small update, with 3 games added, two of them as Day 1 titles. Let's see what's coming!

If you're a current subscriber, you might want to know about the price changes and restructuring that took place starting in September. This is the first wave that will only add games for Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and not the other tiers. You can see which tiers the games are coming to next to the release date.

Quotes (in italic) taken from the article linked above. Pay attention to the platforms for each game (Cloud, Console, and PC), as some titles won't be available for all of them. Some of the games in the above article may have been covered in the previous wave. Games that are part of EA Play are only available to PC and Ultimate subscribers. Games marked as Game Preview are still in active development and this isn't the final version.
