Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in late October, and while it isn’t quite as meaty as the lineup earlier this month (which included Forza Motorsport) it’s still fairly substantial bundle of games. Subscribers can look forward to the Dead Space remake, Like a Dragon: Ishin, Cities: Skylines II, and a number of other Day 1 releases including Dontnod’s Jusant and Headbangers: Rhythm Royale.
Here are your headliner Game Pass titles for the next couple of weeks:
Cities: Skylines II (PC) – October 24
"Raise a city from the ground up and transform it into a thriving metropolis in the long-awaited sequel to the smash-hit city-building game. With deep simulation, a living economy, and more realistic features than ever before, Cities: Skylines II offers world-building without limits."
Dead Space (PC and Xbox Series X|S) EA Play – October 26
From Wccftech’s review – “The new Dead Space is a mostly-successful revival of a survival horror landmark, offering atmospheric new visuals and a series of precision updates to combat, level layouts, and the game’s scary bits that ought to surprise and excite veteran engineers. That said, there was room for Motive Studio to push further, as some game elements still feel a bit dated. Dead Space should satisfy long-suffering fans of the franchise, but compared to the latest, greatest AAA horror competition, it’s no longer a cut above.”
These games will also be available in late October:

Game Pass keeps up its solid fall streak with another good lineup of games. What will you be playing over the next couple of weeks? There’s reason to be concerned about Cities: Skylines II, but I’ll admit, I’m still curious about the city builder.
