The spooky season is upon us and a lowkey stacked October for Xbox Recreation Go is bringing the rat kings, H. R. Giger physique horror, and twee trick-or-treating to have a good time. Whether or not you simply wish to go medieval towards on-line strangers in Chivalry 2 or bask within the putting fantastic thing about A Plague Story: Requiem’s superbly grim depiction of war-torn 14th century France, Microsoft’s Netflix-like subscription service has lots to supply this month.
Right here’s every thing coming to and leaving Xbox Recreation Go within the coming weeks:
October 4
Chivalry 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
October 6
Medieval Dynasty (Xbox Sequence X/S)
The Strolling Lifeless: The Full First Season (PC)
The Strolling Lifeless: Season Two (PC)

Scorn (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Sequence X|S)
October 18
A Plague Story: Requiem (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Sequence X|S)
Launched final yr, Chivalry 2 is a first-person multiplayer fighter the place gamers swing, slash, and claw their technique to victory on a medieval battlefield. It’s daunting however numerous enjoyable when you loosen up and provides your self permission to have enjoyable and be foolish. An ideal addition to the low-stakes Recreation Go buffet. Scorn, in the meantime, is the debut launch from Ebb Software program about exploring a mysterious world filled with abdomen churning and fleshy phenomena. It’s been delayed a bunch and a flashpoint for Kickstarter drama, however hopefully it delivers.
A Plague Story: Requiem, alternatively, is Asobo Studio’s follow-up to 2019’s disturbing rat infestation, A Plague Story: Innocence. Hopefully everybody received an opportunity to examine that out earlier than it fell out of the Recreation Go rotation final month. It was a moody journey recreation that didn’t overplay its hand, and whereas Requiem appears slated to construct out the sport’s motion, I hope it stays grounded. And in case you have a PC, Dyson Sphere Program is one in every of 2021’s finest spacefaring basebuilders.
G/O Media might get a fee
Recreation Go can also be shedding some video games within the subsequent few weeks, however luckily nothing too devastating. The next are all gone as of October 15:
Bloodroots (Cloud, Console, and PC)Echo Era (Cloud, Console, and PC)Into The Pit (Cloud, Console, and PC)Ring of Ache (Cloud, Console, and PC)Sable (Cloud, Console, and PC)The Good Life (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Sable’s artwork type is likely one of the most putting in current reminiscence, and Bloodroots is a good sufficient top-down beat ‘em up. I’ll be trying out Ring of Ache, which I’d by no means heard of earlier than however is a card-based roguelike dungeon crawler. All of my Steam favourite tags are tingling.
Recreation Go’ library has ebbed and flowed in current months, however after a drier spell earlier within the yr issues are beginning to decide up once more. Most of 2022’s huge blockbuster releases had been delayed till 2023, however there’s lots approaching Microsoft’s subscription service a minimum of to stave off the drought.
