Final Fantasy VII Remake Leads Game Pass’s Late-October Lineup

Key Notes

• Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Mouthwashing arrive on October 29 for Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass subscribers.
• The staggered schedule runs into November, with different plans and platforms attached to individual additions.
• Deep Rock Galactic and several other games leave on October 31, while Football Manager 26 follows on November 10.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will join Xbox Game Pass on October 29, leading a late-month lineup that also includes Mouthwashing and The Séance of Blake Manor. Microsoft announced the schedule on October 20, with additions extending into early November.

The headline RPG is coming to Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass. Subscribers should check each game’s date and tier: the announcement combines new catalog entries, two day-one releases and an expansion of Premium access.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Includes Yuffie’s Adventure

Square Enix’s game overview identifies Intergrade as the enhanced version of Final Fantasy VII Remake, including FF7R Episode INTERmission. That additional story follows Yuffie Kisaragi as she enters Midgar and targets Shinra’s materia.

It is the opening Midgar installment of the remake project. Readers looking for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth should keep that distinction in mind; the names identify different games, rather than interchangeable editions of one release.

There is also a way to try the opening before its subscription arrival. Square Enix offers a demo on Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2 covering the first chapter’s reactor mission. Demo progress can transfer to the full game, although the publisher warns that an existing full-game save prevents that transfer. The Switch 2 demo is a separate offer from the Xbox subscription announcement.

The Late-October Game Pass Schedule

Microsoft’s lineup lists the following dates. “PC” in the plan column means PC Game Pass; cloud availability requires a compatible cloud plan.

Sandustry is the PC-only Premium expansion in the list, alongside existing Ultimate and PC access. The other additions include cloud and Xbox Series X|S support, with Plants vs. Zombies listed more broadly for console. The two Game Preview entries remain unfinished releases; Scramble Knights Online and Terrible Lizards are the announced day-one additions.

For subscribers choosing between services, we recently covered October’s PlayStation Plus catalog. A useful comparison starts with the games you intend to play and their arrival dates, then the membership needed to access them.

Check Departures Before Starting a Long Game

Deep Rock Galactic, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Wartales are among the games leaving on October 31. Football Manager 26 and its Console Edition follow on November 10, giving those players a different deadline.

The membership terms explain that catalog access lasts while the subscription remains active and the game stays included. Downloading a departing title does not turn it into a permanently owned copy. Games and features can also differ by region, plan and platform.

PC Game Pass includes EA Play but does not include Xbox Cloud Gaming. Console-based plans offer different cloud allowances and libraries, so a cloud label beside a game is not a promise that every subscription can stream it.

We detailed those distinctions in our cloud gaming guide, including supported devices and connection quality. For this lineup, checking the local listing before an upgrade is particularly useful: several major arrivals already include Premium, while others require Ultimate or PC Game Pass.
