Xbox Series X Owners Are Getting Their Money's Worth With the New Game Pass Games for October 2022

gamerant.com:

While cross-gen games are still releasing, Xbox Series X-only games are becoming more common, as evidenced by the new Xbox Game Pass games for October 2022. Cross-gen releases are not uncommon at the start of a console generation, but it's been nearly two years since the Xbox Series X launched, and it still only has a handful of games built to properly take advantage of its added horsepower. That's starting to change, though, as more games coming out are launching only for new-gen consoles.

The new Xbox Game Pass games for October 2022 include multiple games that are only coming to Xbox Series X, leaving the older Xbox One console generation behind. One such game has already been released in the form of Medieval Dynasty, a medieval-themed open world survival game. Medieval Dynasty has earned mixed reviews from critics, but it is still notable for being a next-gen only release.

Ark 2 Will Stay on Xbox Game Pass for Longer Than Expected

Later this month, Xbox Series X owners have even more Game Pass games to look forward to, with October 14 bringing the likes of first-person horror game Scorn. The long-in-development Scorn will be joining the Xbox Game Pass lineup just in time for the Halloween season. Horror fans that have been waiting years to play the game will soon be able to find out if it was worth the wait when it hits Game Pass this coming Friday.

Horror fans may also want to check out another Xbox Series X-only Game Pass game coming this month. A Plague Tale: Requiem is leaving older consoles behind and launching as a day one Xbox Game Pass game on October 18. The sequel to the award-winning A Plague Tale: Innocence, A Plague Tale: Requiem is not a pure horror game, but it certainly embraces elements of the genre.
