Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in late October, and it’s a rather eclectic lineup.

Here are your late-October PC and console Game Pass titles:
Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition (PC) – October 15

Heave Ho (PC) – October 15
Grab one another’s hands, climb across dangling bodies, and swing your pals to safety in a wobbly, dangly mass of limbs. Heave Ho tasks up to four players with a simple goal: don’t fall to your death! Players will use their own two hands and the outstretched grip of their friends to grapple across each level on their way to victory. Customize your character with stylish accessories in a vain attempt to remember which of your hands is the only thing between you and the plummet of doom.
