Xbox has announced which games these are coming to Game Pass in the first wave of October additions. In addition to the other games, this wave will launch for four days, including the Geigerian Scorn and A Plague Tale: Requiem.

The first matches Coming to the service include Chivalry 2, Medieval Dynasty, The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season, and The Walking Dead: Season Two. All of these are coming to the service this week, with Chivalry 2 available now. Next week on October 11 is Costume Quest.

Day one launch begins next week, including Eville, Dyson Sphere Program and Scorn. The final game in this wave is A Plague Tale: Requiem launching on October 18. That’s a decent lineup of first day titles, especially Requiem, which looked excellent in the preview we played.

Fortunately, the list of games leaving Game Pass this month is also relatively light. We lose Bloodroots, Echo Generation, Into The Pit, Ring of Pain, Sable and The Good Life, all on October 15th.

In addition to the Game Pass additions, Xbox has also announced two titles for: Games with gold subscribers (which are also available to Game Pass Ultimate subscribers). These are Windbound, which is available now, and Bomber Crew Deluxe Edition, which is available on October 16. This is the first month Xbox hasn’t offered a 360-era title with Games with Gold. This reduces the number of gold titles from four per month to two.
