Xbox continues to bring amazing games to the Game Pass, including A Plague Tale: Requiem, Scorn, Persona 5 Royal, and more titles during the month of October 2022.

Game Pass, the subscription-based service by Xbox, is undoubtedly one of the best deals in gaming right now. It offers players access to a whole suite of amazing titles, ranging from AAA behemoths to indie darlings, for a fixed monthly fee. Available on Xbox consoles (One and Series X|S) and Windows PCs, the service has already garnered a dedicated playerbase.

Xbox often brings certain Day 1 titles to the service, and October was one of the best months of 2022 for the Game Pass.
