We started the event with nothing confirmed for that month, and ended it with three major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/features\/xbox-game-studios-all-microsoft-first-party-developers-and-what-theyre-working-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Xbox Game Studios<\/a> titles being scheduled within 12 days of each other.<\/p>\n<p>The first of these is Double Fine&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/news\/2025\/06\/double-fine-is-back-with-keeper-for-xbox-game-pass-coming-this-october\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keeper<\/a><\/strong>, which was revealed for the first time at the event and received a release date of <strong>October 17th<\/strong>. Then, four days later, we&#8217;re getting <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/games\/xbox-series-x\/ninja_gaiden_4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ninja Gaiden 4<\/a><\/strong> on <strong>October 21st<\/strong>, and it&#8217;s followed by perhaps the biggest release of the three on <strong>October 29th<\/strong> in the form of Obsidian&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/games\/xbox-series-x\/outer_worlds_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Outer Worlds 2<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve added these to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/guides\/xbox-game-pass-in-2025-the-full-list-of-everything-announced-so-far\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our big Xbox Game Pass 2025 guide<\/a>, where the small gap particularly stands out!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\"><p>Xbox first-party has three confirmed game releases in October. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Hda2aVdVq9\">pic.twitter.com\/Hda2aVdVq9<\/a>\u2014 Klobrille (@klobrille) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/klobrille\/status\/1931879832507535524?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 9, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To us, it certainly feels pretty strange that Xbox is releasing all of these games within such a small space of time, and here&#8217;s hoping they all still get a nice marketing push ahead of launch.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s especially bizarre because Xbox has nothing currently scheduled for September 2025 or November 2025 right now, and while <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/news\/2025\/06\/call-of-duty-goes-co-op-with-black-ops-7-coming-to-xbox-game-pass-this-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Call of Duty: Black Ops 7<\/a><\/strong> is surely being positioned to dominate November as things stand, it&#8217;s worth remembering that Black Ops 6 launched in October last year &#8211; surely that&#8217;s not going to happen again?!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we just thought this was an interesting decision from Team Xbox, and perhaps it indicates that there&#8217;s still room for a couple more games (including COD) to slot into the lineup before the year is out.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on this?
