Spider-Man 2, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and More: New Games on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X in October

October is here and the month brings a non-stop train of game releases. It is perhaps the busiest month in gaming this year, with major titles fighting for space in the tight window of four weeks. Kicking off things on October 5 is Assassin's Creed Mirage, Ubisoft's next chapter in the long-running assassin's saga. This time, the game opts to shrink its scope and return to its roots with a more stealth and assassinations-based approach. The last three AC titles had adhered to a Witcher 3-style expansive RPG style, drawing criticism for open-world bloat.

Later down the month, we're getting perhaps the biggest exclusive release on PlayStation this year. Marvel's Spider-Man 2, featuring both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable Spider-Men, releases October 20. On the same day, we're also getting the next Mario game from Nintendo. Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Nintendo's first side-scrolling entry in the series since 2012's Super Mario Bros. U, will feature a dynamic level design that can be interacted with to affect gameplay.

On October 27, Remedy Entertainment will release Alan Wake 2, the survival horror absurdist sequel to 2010's Alan Wake. Remedy never shies away from making it weird and expect Alan Wake 2 to build upon its predecessor's David Lynch-inspired nightmarish mystery. October also sees big-name releases like Detective Pikachu Returns, Forza Motorsport, and Sonic Superstars. It is indeed a jam-packed month.

Here are our picks for the biggest games coming to PC and consoles in October 2023.
