October has been a significant month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers with a roster of titles already added and more in the pipeline. Microsoft has unveiled plans for an Xbox Partner Preview event scheduled for Wednesday, October 25, that is set to provide a glimpse into the future offerings of Xbox Game Pass.

The Allure of October for Game Pass Subscribers

Xbox Game Pass has fortified its catalogue with several high-profile games in October 2023, most notably the inclusion of Forza Motorsport. The excitement doesn’t halt here; the service is primed to unveil further titles like Cities: Skylines 2 and Dead Space to the fold.

Upcoming Titles on Xbox Game Pass

  • Cities: Skylines 2: Slated for release on PC Game Pass on October 24.
  • Dead Space: Joining the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate lineup on October 26.
  • Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery & Mineko’s Night Market: Set to arrive on Game Pass on October 26.
  • Headbangers: Rhythm Royale and Jusant: Scheduled for an October 31 release.

October 25: A Day to Look Forward To

While the anticipation is high for October 26, there’s significant buzz for the preceding day as well. The Xbox Partner Preview event is a novel broadcast endeavor focusing on updates from third-party publishers with games en route to Xbox. This includes more than 20 minutes dedicated to new trailers and gameplay footage from various awaited titles.

Third-Party Publishers at the Event

  • Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio
  • Remedy Entertainment
  • Studio Wildcard

Expectations and Speculations

Not every game displayed will be tied to Game Pass. Titles like Remedy’s Alan Wake 2 will grace the event but won’t be part of Game Pass offerings. Conversely, games like Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth have been confirmed for Game Pass from day one.

No Updates on Activision Blizzard Titles

Microsoft has clarified that there won’t be any news regarding Activision Blizzard games during this event. Since the acquisition, these titles have transitioned from third-party to first-party status, thus falling outside the scope of the upcoming preview.

Final Thoughts

This narrative not only gears up the gaming community for an exciting end to October but also positions Xbox Game Pass as a continually evolving service poised to deliver quality and variety. The Xbox Partner Preview event promises to be an informative session for gamers looking forward to the latest updates and releases.
