October’s Xbox Live Games with Gold titles have been revealed

Microsoft has announced October’s Xbox Live Games with Gold titles.

On Xbox One, subscribers will be able to download Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut (normally $16.99/£13.59) for free throughout October.

Maid of Sker (normally $24.99/£19.99) will then be available as a free download from October 16 to November 15.

On Xbox One and Xbox 360, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (normally $14.99/£11.99) will be free for Xbox Live Gold members from October 1-15.

And from October 16 until the end of the month, Costume Quest (normally $14.99/£9.99) will be free to download.

As part of September’s Games with Gold line-up, members can download The Division and Armed and Dangerous until the end of this month, while The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is free until October 15.

Microsoft recently stopped selling 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscriptions, fuelling speculation that the long-running service could be repackaged or phased out to coincide with the Xbox Series X and S launches on November 10.

However, the company subsequently told VGC “there are no changes being made to the experience of the service or Xbox Live Gold.”

Earlier today Microsoft dated five upcoming Game Pass titles including Doom Eternal and Forza Motorsport 7, and said the EA Play service will be added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate starting on November 10.
