It’s almost Halloween, and if you have Game Pass on Xbox or PC you can download a variety of spooky titles for a festive session. Our picks range from interactive stories to brutal first‑person shooters, and you don’t need Game Pass Ultimate—just Premium or PC—to play them.
Mouthwashing
Mouthwashing great for people who want a narrative-driven claustrophobic space-freighter thriller with great sound design, but not good if you don’t like minimal gameplay or gruesome polygonal horror.
Control
Control Haunted office building metroidvania great for people who love brutalist architecture Force-pushing enemies and The X-Files but not good if you don’t like backtracking or third-person shooter aiming.
Dead By Daylight
Dead By Daylight Online survival horror co-op great for people who like to imagine themselves inside horror movies but not good if you hate that feeling of being hunted or letting down your teammates.
Diablo 4
Diablo 4 Loot-based action-RPG great for fans of blowing up thousands of demons and swapping out inventory slots but not good if you easily fall asleep while mashing buttons.
Inside
Inside Cinematic platforming adventure great for fans of brutalism who get emotional when watching haunting scenes in black and white but not good if you want your stories told with words.
Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition
Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition Dark fantasy puzzle adventure great for anyone who prizes atmosphere music and mood above all else but not good if you get easily frustrated with finicky controls or trial and error.
