September seemed to fly by, and now we’re back again with another month of free games for Xbox Games with Gold members. While the games available this month are standard for Microsoft in recent months – by that, I mean terribly boring – it comes at a time that Microsoft’s Game Pass continues to build value.

Now, I’m not here to say that Microsoft is purposely releasing super boring games to drive members to Game Pass Ultimate, which includes Xbox Live Gold, but, I mean c’mon, look at the free Games with Gold for October below.

Also, friendly reminder, you’ll need an active Xbox Live Gold membership to continue to enjoy these games.
