Several Games Launch Directly on Game Pass
Subscribers looking for something new will have several interesting options.
Scramble Knights Online
Arriving October 26, Scramble Knights Online introduces a cooperative action RPG experience.
Players explore the online kingdom of Terracott, complete quests, conquer dungeons, and collect valuable equipment. The game encourages teamwork while allowing players to develop their characters.
It launches directly into Game Pass through its Game Preview release.
The Séance of Blake Manor
Horror and mystery fans can look forward to The Séance of Blake Manor on October 27.
Set in Ireland during 1897, the game follows an investigation into a young woman’s disappearance. Players must explore a mysterious hotel, question its inhabitants, and uncover supernatural secrets.
Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted
The original Plants vs. Zombies returns on October 29 with an updated presentation.
Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted introduces HD visuals, additional levels, and improvements to the familiar tower defense gameplay.
Players must once again protect their homes from increasingly dangerous zombie invasions using an assortment of defensive plants.
Terrible Lizards
Also arriving October 29, Terrible Lizards offers a different approach to horror.
Instead of fighting enemies directly, players must rely on parkour movements to escape dangerous situations.
The game launches directly into Xbox Game Pass and marks the debut of WDR Studios.
Nine Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass
While Microsoft continues expanding its subscription library, several existing titles will disappear on October 31.
The following games are scheduled for removal:
- Day of the Tentacle Remastered
- Dead Static Drive
- Deep Rock Galactic
- Full Throttle Remastered
- Grim Fandango Remastered
- Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
- LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
- Wartales
- Wildgate
Additionally, Football Manager 26 and Football Manager 26 Console Edition will leave the service on November 10.
Subscribers interested in these titles should consider playing them before their removal.
A Strong Finish for October
October is shaping up to be another interesting month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is undoubtedly one of the biggest attractions, especially for players who have yet to experience Square Enix’s modern interpretation of the classic RPG.
However, the smaller additions also deserve attention. Games such as Scramble Knights Online and The Séance of Blake Manor provide alternatives for players looking beyond major releases.
With multiple genres represented and several day-one additions, Microsoft continues to demonstrate the variety available through its subscription service.
For Xbox players, the remaining weeks of October offer plenty of opportunities to discover something new.
