While the first half of October was passably light on new Xbox Game Pass additions , the back half of the month is a lot more exciting . Of of course , Call of Duty : Black Ops 6is the month ’s biggest release , but that ’s still a week out . Meanwhile , this workweek saw two great RPGs and an excellent indie game polish off Microsoft ’s subscription service . If you ’re question what you should be playing this weekend , all three of these new Xbox Game Pass addition are worthy of your time .
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
While this year’sSouth Park : Snow Daywas a disappointment , the two Ubisoft - issue game that preceded it narratively are stellar . One of those , the superhero - themedSouth Park : The Fractured But Whole , just occur to Xbox Game Pass . This game utterly captures the handcrafted look of the show with its artwork and the franchise ’s crass humor through its progressively ridiculous story about Cartman , a new Kyd , and their other friends venture to be superheroes . It ’s a amazingly well - made control grid - based tactical RPG , wee-wee it a importantly estimable game than it may seem on the surface .
South Park : The Fractured But Wholeis useable across PC , Xbox One , and Xbox Cloud Gaming with a Game Pass subscription . It ’s also on Nintendo Switch and part of the PlayStation Plus Extra plot catalogue on PS4 .
Donut County
Some of the best indie game take one charming idea and explore it to its total . Donut Countyis one such game , as players operate a cakehole that gets bigger whenever something falls into it . Developer Ben Esposito found so many apt ways to utilize this mechanic , both for puzzles and to create someKatamari Damacy - elan satisfaction as the hole gets vainglorious and bad . On top of all that , it have a wizard report following the residents of the titularDonut County , who have all fall down into the hole . If you have n’t playedDonut Countybefore , it ’s deserving checking out on Game Pass as it read just a couple of hour to complete .
Game Pass indorser can curb out the PC , Xbox One , and Xbox Cloud Gaming versions ofDonut County . It ’s also on PS4 , Nintendo Switch , iOS , and Android .
MechWarrior 5: Clans
at long last , we haveMechWarrior 5 : Clans , the latest entry in a long - turn tail series of Mecha games . It takes a more focussed overture than 2019’sMechWarrior 5 : soldier of fortune , with a delicately handcrafted tale . Still , it features the same hearty mecha action and RPG elements the series is know for . WhileBattleTech , theuniverseMechWarrioris countersink in , can be problematical to break for starter , I ’d suggest checkingMechWarrior 5 : Clansout now that it ’s on Xbox Game Pass if the above trailer has done enough to intrigue you .
MechWarrior 5 : Clansis available across PC , Xbox Series X / S , and Xbox Cloud Gaming with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription . It ’s also on PS5 .
