What you need to know
- Several new games are being added to Xbox Game Pass for the month of October 2022.
- Some of these games, like A Plague Tale: Requiem and Scorn, were previously announced as heading to the service at launch.
- There’s also some new games such as Chivalry 2.
As we head into the holiday period, a few more games are being added to Microsoft’s mainline gaming subscription service.
As shared on Xbox Wire (opens in new tab), a few titles are coming to Xbox Game Pass in October 2022, including previously-announced games like A Plague Tale: Requiem and Scorn. The former is a sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence, and tells the story of siblings Amicia and Hugo as they once again struggle to survive against hordes of rats and nefarious human pursuers.
Meanwhile, Scorn is something of a weirder game, a first-person Giger-inspired title that’s heavy on exploration and puzzles. Notably, both games are current-generation exclusive, meaning they’re built for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and high-end PCs.
Another highlight is Medieval multiplayer title Chivalry 2, which allows players to take part in massive field and siege battles across fictional lands.
