It seems it's high time to work through the EA Sports FC 25 achievements, as the sports sim, which broke into the top 15 of last week's Xbox gameplay chart apparently on the strength of early access alone, has now risen to fifth place after launching in full.

Aside from Overwatch 2 and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II swapping places, there aren't any other major changes in the top ten. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II might reclaim its spot, too, since its latest Xbox update added private matches and more. EA Sports FC 24 has taken a fall from fifth to 11th, while further down, things are looking up for Halo Infinite and Halo MCC: the first having moved up one spot and the second having leapt up from 24th to 18th. Starfield, too, has moved up this week, jumping up three spots to 19th. We'll likely see it rise still further on next week's chart, since its Shattered Space DLC has just arrived, adding 12 new achievements.

There's a fair amount of reshuffling going on, with titles moving up and down the chart, but Age of Mythology has had a more noticeable drop, falling seven places to 26th. That may change when the recently-teased expansion arrives. Riders Republic has fallen even further; it joined Game Pass earlier in the month, but has this week fallen from 17th to 31st. Then we have this week's only new appearance with We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie, which appears at 35th after joining Game Pass. Rounding up the chart are two reappearances with Cyberpunk 2077 at 38th and MLB The Show 24 at 39th, and Mafia: Definitive Edition holding on at 40th.

New Xbox Game Pass additions usually cause a fair amount of chaos in our weekly charts, and while October's upcoming Game Pass games currently look a bit empty, the one confirmed October title we do have is a biggie: Call of Duty Black Ops 6.
