Xbox Wire Editor Will Fulton detailed the complete lineup of titles landing on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Xbox Game Pass between October 26 and October 30, 2026.

Leading the eerie lineup is The Séance of Blake Manor, arriving October 27 on Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere. Set on October 28, 1897, the narrative mystery follows investigator Declan Ward as he interrogates a gathering of mystics on the night the veil between worlds thins. If gathering evidence in a haunted estate on All Hallows' Eve with full squad atmosphere sounds like my exact brand of dramatic fun, that is because it absolutely is.
On October 29, publisher Critical Reflex brings first-person narrative horror Mouthwashing to Xbox for $12.99. The story follows the doomed crew of a stranded space freighter at the mercy of their maimed captain. October 29 also brings Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us Remastered, updating Bigby Wolf's gritty investigation with upgraded visual detail, alongside Digital Pajamas' 1992-set roadside mystery Terrible Lizards on Game Pass.
The details
The schedule kicks off early on October 26 with Funktronic Labs' MMO-lite adventure Scramble Knights Online (Game Preview) launching on Game Pass, alongside wordless surreal dark adventure Ayasa: Shadows of Silence and cozy simulation title PAO PAO (Game Preview). Players looking for quiet relief can also grab Bao Bao’s Cozy Cleaning Services on October 27.
Wrapping up the week on October 30, Future Friends Games releases retro-fantasy action RPG Queen’s Domain for $19.99 ($16.99 during pre-order), where players wield the Holy Sword Endu across the mysterious Isle of Neasied.
The late-October release slate delivers targeted variety for Xbox's fall lineup, combining high-profile day-one Game Pass indie debuts with atmospheric horror timed directly for Halloween week. By bringing narrative titles like The Séance of Blake Manor straight into the Game Pass library while remastering established narrative thrillers like The Wolf Among Us, Microsoft continues to bolster its subscription catalog with diverse storytelling genres across console and PC.
