Game Pass: Scaring up more games for October
Xbox have announced the second half of games coming to Game Pass across the tiers for October. As you might have guessed, Call of Duty is going to play a big part of this line up.
As always, as new games are added, older games get removed. These are the titles going away on October 31st.
Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Headbangers (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Inkulinati (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Lonely Mountain’s Downhill (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Mineko’s Night Market (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Picking them up while they are in Game Pass will save you 20% off the RRP.
As Game Pass Standard now exists, there is a much smaller library of games available to members of that teir, so we are going to list the games by what tier you need to be on to get them. Below is how we will list games going forward, which should hopefully make it clearer.
