The second half of October games have been announced by Xbox, and there are some big hitters. From racing to horror and chilled out climbing sims, there will be something for everyone. There is a noticeable lack of ABK games in this Game Pass line-up, but with the deal only finalizing on Friday 13th, it could take a while for them to percolate through. Phil Spencer has said to expect the games to start hitting Game Pass in 2024.
