Here's when new games are coming to Xbox Game Pass in October, including Persona 5 Royal

Phantom Abyss, the Amnesia series, and more

It’s the middle of the month, which means it’s time for another batch of Game Pass games to be detailed. For a start, today sees the day one release ofA Plague Tale: Requiem, the followup to everyone’s favourite Middle Ages ratventure. There are similarly big games to come before the end of the month, however, includingPersona 5 Royal.

Here’s the complete list of games still to come to Game Pass before the end of the month:

The Amnesia series and Soma, from Frictional Games, are all gripping horror games of various stripes. Amnesia in particular still feels foundational for a certain kind of modern survival horror, while Soma pulls double duty by also being a thoughtful scifi story with a mode that strips out the monsters if you’re a wuss like me.

Phantom Abyss, meanwhile, is about speedrunning tombs against the online community and is a jolly time even though it’s still in early access. We brieflygave away copies of itto RPS supporters, but they were all gone in, like, 8 hours.

Lastly, Persona 5 Royal is the revised edition of the latest entry in the JRPG series that pairs monster battling with hanging out with high school friends. It’sthe perfect game to play on Steam Deck, says Liam.
