They’ll join the Standard library on consoles on October 2 alongside . That captivating brawler is also coming to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

Two other games will hit all versions of the service save for Xbox Game Pass Core in the coming days (have we talked about how needlessly convoluted the Game Pass setup is lately?). Physics-based party brawler Mad Streets will join the lineup on October 7, followed by Inscryption on October 10. That creepy roguelike deck-builder is one of our picks for the .

Inevitably, Xbox will be removing some games from the library in the coming days to make way for the newcomers (and also because various licensing deals will be coming to an end). On October 15, it will yank Dyson Sphere Program, Everspace 2, From Space, F1 Manager 2023 and Scorn.

As ever, Xbox will add more titles to Game Pass in the back half of the month, including a lil’ under-the-radar one a few people might have heard of called . That one will any time soon, however.
