Xbox has officially announced a new set of video games set to join the Xbox Game Pass subscription service through the end of October. As is typical, the list includes one that is actually available today — A Plague Tale: Requiem — in addition to a number set to arrive this week. The list of new Xbox Game Pass video games includes access on PC, console, and via the cloud.
On top of A Plague Tale: Requiem, new Xbox Game Pass titles for October 2022 include Amnesia: Collection, Amnesia: Rebirth, Phantom Abyss, Soma, Persona 5 Royal, Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery, Gunfire Reborn, and Signalis. Of these, Phantom Abyss is notably listed as a game preview, which just basically means that it’s not actually a full release quite yet.
