Celebrate the scary season

Xbox islining upits later Game Pass additions for October, and it’s an interesting mix. There are some scares, some mysteries, and one big RPG that can easily take your time.

Persona 5 Royalis one of the big additions for this month on Xbox Game Pass. It hits cloud, console, and PC on October 21, bringing the previously PlayStation-exclusive RPG to new platforms.

SOMA

Worth noting thatRoyalalso hitsPlayStation 5andNintendo Switch, as well asSteam, on October 21.

If you’re looking for frights though, might I suggest theAmnesiagames and, especially,Soma? All arrive on Game Pass this month, andSOMAis one story I don’t think I’ll be able to dislodge from my head anytime soon.

While theAmnesiaseries focuses on a lot of medieval and traditional horror,SOMAgoes sci-fi and absolutely nails it. Even if you’re not a fan of the horror aspects, for gameplay or for scares, there is anoption to turn that all down.

Other additions this month includeSignalis, a sci-fi horror game withResident Evilvibes thatI’ve been looking forward tofor a while. You could also flee hordes of rats in the newPlague Talegame.
