Xbox Game Pass Getting Dead Space and More to Close October 2023

Xbox Game Pass is wrapping up October on a very strong note.

Microsoft has revealed the final lineup of games that will be joining Xbox Game Pass to end October 2023 and the slate is notably headlined by EA's recent remake of Dead Space. The past month for Xbox Game Pass has been particularly strong as the subscription platform has given members access to titles like Starfield, Lies of P, Payday 3, and Cocoon. Now, this momentum is going to carry into early November as the coming weeks will see Game Pass subscribers getting even more fantastic titles.

In total, Xbox Game Pass will be receiving eight more games before October 2023 comes to a close. These new arrivals begin rolling out today with Like a Dragon: Ishin, which is the most recent installment in Sega's long-running Like a Dragon series. Far and away the biggest title of the month though is Dead Space, which will join Game Pass just before Halloween on October 26. It's worth noting that Dead Space will be joining the platform through EA Play, which means it will only be accessible to those with Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions.
