As September comes to an end, gamers are looking forward to what next month has in store for them. Of course, the arrival of a new month means new games will be available for free through various subscription services, and the lineup for Xbox Games with Gold has officially been revealed.

As can be seen on the Xbox website, the Games with Gold lineup for October 2020 seems to have an overall theme of spooky. After all, it is appropriate considering Halloween is just around the corner, so it would make sense to see at least one horror title included. To kick things off on Xbox One, Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut will be arriving on October 1st and be available for the duration of the month. Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy will also be arriving on the 1st for Xbox One and Xbox 360, but it will only be available until the 15th.

October 16th will bring two more titles to players to round out the Games with Gold lineup for the month. Maid of Sker will come to Xbox One until November 15th, while Costume Quest will be available until October 31st for Xbox One and Xbox 360. If you would like to learn more about each of the titles included in October’s lineup, that can be found below:

Xbox Games with Gold October 2020 lineup:

• Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut
  • Paying homage to classic ‘80s trash horror, play as Skullface, an adorably demented villain, out to terrorize camp counselors and any other blocky victims he finds. New dimensions of absurd terror and over 300 fiendish puzzles await in this isometric puzzle game.
• Maid of Sker
  • Do not panic, don’t even breathe! Set in a remote hotel with a macabre and gory history, use stealth tactics to stay alive against a cult of sound-based enemies. Inspired by chilling tales in Welsh folklore, do your best to survive and brave the nightmares of the Quiet Ones.
• Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
  • Inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt, play as Sphinx, and his reluctant hero friend, the Mummy, as they travel the world to foil the evil plans of Set. Use stealth, agility, and special powers to find the stolen magical crowns of Egypt and save the world.
• Costume Quest
  • Collect super-powered magical costumes and level up your hero in the monster-filled neighborhoods of Auburn Pines. Complete numerous quests, build up your party, and take down evil in the Halloween tale that will capture the imagination of kids and the kids-at-heart.
