October's release rush continues

The week lands right in the middle of a stacked October for Xbox, with Battlefield 6 joining Game Pass earlier in the month and GTA 6 just a month away on November 19. With releases thinning out as the industry holds its breath for Rockstar's giant, this week is one of the last big multi-release windows of the year.
