We are still a few months out from the launch of the Xbox Series X, so for those looking to enjoy some of the hits of what this generation had to offer gamers, binging the games available on the Xbox Game Pass isn’t a bad idea. Granting access to a brand new collection of games, Microsoft will be adding the following games to the service early next month:
Doom Eternal
Available 1 October 2020
Android and Xbox One
Hell’s armies have invaded Earth and now you must become the Slayer in an epic single-player campaign to conquer demons across dimensions and stop the final destruction of humanity. Experience the ultimate combination of speed and power in Doom Eternal – the next leap in push-forward, first-person combat. The only thing they fear… is you.
Drake Hollow
Available 1 October 2020
PC Only
Drake Hollow is a cooperative action village-building game set in The Hollow – a blighted mirror of our world – in which players build and defend villages of Drakes, the lovable, local vegetable folk. Whether solo or with friends, players follow the guidance of a mysterious crow to explore a dynamically generated world of islands trapped in poisonous aether and help the Drakes restore their camp.
Brütal Legend
Available 8 October 2020
Xbox One Only
Double Fine Productions cult classic action-comedy Brütal Legend is coming to Xbox Game Pass. Follow the unlikely adventure of Eddie Riggs, a humble roadie (voiced by Jack Black!) drawn into an alternate world of gnarly demons, fire-breathing beasts, and heavy metal music. Brütal Legend mixes hack and slash mayhem with huge strategy battles as Eddie and a band of stalwart heroes fight to free the world from a demonic overlord. Featuring a vibrant voice cast and cameo appearances from some of the world’s biggest rock musicians, Brütal Legend is a celebration of all things heavy and metal.

Ikenfell

Xbox One and PC
A turn based-tactical RPG about a group of troublesome magic students.

Unfortunately with games being added to the Xbox Game Pass service, there are five titles due to disappear from it on 15 October 2020. If you have been holding out to play Felix the Reaper, Metro 2033 Redux, Minit, Saints Row IV Re-Elected or State of Mind, now will be your best chance! Alternatively, you can buy the game for slightly less digitally with your 20% Xbox Game Pass membership discount.
