Xbox had plenty to show at Gamescom 2026, and its second Gamescom stream was particularly good news for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
The latest Xbox Gamescom 2026 showcase featured 10 Game Pass titles, ranging from atmospheric horror games and supernatural mysteries to co-op adventures, action RPGs, and even a new take on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Some of the announcements were completely new, while others finally received release dates or fresh gameplay footage. Holstin, with its unsettling 1990s Polish setting and unusual mix of top-down and over-the-shoulder perspectives, was one of the standout reveals. Meanwhile, Armatus and Deep Dish Dungeon both received October release dates.
There was also a new look at Albion Online, the upcoming Arkheron crossplay beta, Militsioner, Son of Thanjai, and several other games heading to Xbox Game Pass.
Here are all 10 Xbox Game Pass games and updates announced during Xbox's second Gamescom 2026 stream.

Holstin Is One of the Most Interesting Game Pass Reveals
Holstin immediately stood out during the Xbox Gamescom 2026 presentation. The psychological survival horror game is set in an eerie Polish town during the 1990s, where something sinister has taken over the isolated community.
What makes Holstin particularly interesting is its visual presentation. The game can shift between a traditional top-down perspective and an over-the-shoulder viewpoint, giving exploration and combat a distinctive feel.
Players arrive in the town looking for answers, only to discover that its residents are being consumed by something far more disturbing. Holstin is coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2027.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Gets Air Racing Content
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is getting a very different kind of update. The Gamescom showcase highlighted the upcoming National Championship Air Races, which will let players take part in high-speed aerial competitions over New Mexico.
The new content arrives on October 13, 2026, bringing the world's fastest motorsport into Microsoft's flight simulator. The presentation also highlighted the Italy World Update, giving virtual pilots another reason to return to the skies.
Armatus Gets an October 13 Release Date
Armatus now has a release date. The dark action game puts players in the role of a mysterious masked warrior tasked with fighting demonic creatures roaming the ruins of Paris.
There is still plenty of mystery surrounding the protagonist and the story, but the new trailer gave players a closer look at the game's combat and gothic setting. Armatus launches October 13, 2026, on Xbox Game Pass.
