Xbox Game Passcontinues its second wave of releases for October 2022, with a total of four games being added to the service. However, as what sometimes happens withXbox Game Pass, one of these titles is a collection. Counting each game within it then technically means fans can claim six games this month.
What’s perfect is how Xbox Game Pass has embraced the Halloween season.PS Plus has basically ignored Halloween with its October 2022 releases, and while Epic Games Store has embraced the season too, it’s not to the same degree. It’s clear Game Pass is demolishing the season, especially with today’s releases.

EveryXbox Game Passrelease today is available via PC, Cloud, and Console, and these include the Amnesia Collection (consisting ofThe Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs, andJustine),Amnesia Rebirth, Phantom Abyss, andSoma.If one game is the odd one out, it’sPhantom Abyss. Not only is it technically entering Game Pass via Game Preview, but it’s an asynchronous massive multiplayer game where plays must retrieve sacred relics within procedurally generated temples. It stands out from the others, as they are all horror games, and in fact, evenSomashares the same development studio withThe Dark Descent.
Amnesiais a beloved horror series and having so many games dropping on Game Pass in one day is a smart move. But if that’s still not enough scare,Somais another from Frictional Games. This is asci-fi horror game set below the Atlantic Ocean. Frictional Games brings out the best of its setting, especially as players deal with a lack of outside contact, diminishing resources, and machines that have become more sentient.
