Microsoft has revealed the new titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in early October, and there are some more big Day 1 releases on the way. These include the new co-op zombie shooter Back 4 Blood, SWERY’s latest slice of weirdness, The Good Life, and the action-strategy game, The Riftbreaker. They’re joined by Destiny 2: Beyond Light, twisted horror game Visage, and more.
Here are your early-October PC and console Game Pass titles:

Xbox Game Pass grants players access to more than 100 games for 10 bucks a month — you can check out a full list of available console and PC games here. As always, Microsoft is offering new subscribers a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (which also includes Xbox Live Gold and EA Play subscriptions) for a mere $1.
What Game Pass titles do you plan on tackling over the next few weeks? I’m sure most will be jumping into Back 4 Blood, but Visage is also worth a try if you’re looking for some Halloween scares.
