Xbox Fans Rejoice: Latest Batman Game is Free with Xbox Game Pass Subscription

Xbox Game Pass Lineup for October: New Releases and Recent Games

Xbox has unveiled its lineup of games coming to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service in the first half of October 2023. This exciting list includes brand-new games launching on the same day as their release and recent games that have launched within the last year. But the big news for Batman fans is that the latest Batman game, Gotham Knights, is now available for free with an Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Save Gotham City in Gotham Knights

Gotham Knights, released in October last year, has garnered mixed reviews since its launch. However, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can now download and play this action RPG that puts players in the shoes of Batman's disciples. With Batman dead, it's up to his followers to save Gotham City. While the game has been critiqued for lacklustre combat and grindy game design, it still offers a unique experience that fans will enjoy, especially since it's now free with Game Pass. Plus, the game features a two-player co-op mode, making it even more fun to play alongside a friend.

The Lamplighters League and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Join Game Pass

In addition to Gotham Knights, Xbox Game Pass recently added The Lamplighters League, a turn-based game inspired by adventure films like Indiana Jones. This exciting game allows players to control a team of misfits as they try to stop an ancient order from taking over the world in a beautifully recreated alt-history 1930s setting.

Console owners are in for a treat as they will soon be able to get their hands on a beta of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, a four-player co-op action game. This game, from the creators of the acclaimed Vermintide games, offers a new Warhammer 40,000 experience where players team up with friends to take down hordes of enemies.

Forza Motorsport and From Space: More Exciting Additions

For racing enthusiasts, the latest entry in the Forza Motorsport series will be available on Game Pass as a day-one release on October 10, 2023. This game, Xbox's answer to PlayStation's Gran Turismo, promises a realistic handling and physics experience, along with a focus on rally culture.

If you're in the mood for a co-op shooter, From Space is just what you need. In this adorable game, players team up with friends to save Earth from an alien infestation. From Space will be added to Game Pass on October 12.

Like A Dragon: Ishin! Remake Coming to Game Pass

Finally, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to playing a remake of a 2014 game in the Yakuza series. Like A Dragon: Ishin! was never released outside of Japan, but now the remake, which brings its story set in Kyoto during the late Edo period to the West, will be available on Game Pass on October 27.
