For years, Microsoft employees have enjoyed a perk that gives them free subscriptions to Game Pass Ultimate, and that benefit was on track to be discontinued until Xbox boss Phil Spencer stepped in and saved the day.
2023’s best horror game comes to Game Pass, but we lose an amazing RPG
17.10.2023 - 14:57 / pcgamesn.com / Best
One of my favorite games of the year and a truly standout horror experience is about to join PC Game Pass, as 2023’s Dead Space remake is headed to the Microsoft subscription service. There’s a lot more coming in the spooky month of October, but we’re also losing some truly great games, with Persona 5 Royal chief among them.
By all accounts, 2023 has been an excellent year for remakes of iconic horror games, and the genre in general. My absolute favorite has been the Dead Space remake, which we at PCGamesN gave a 9/10 in our Dead Space review. Calling it a superb glow-up that fully embraces what made the 2008 original so special to begin with.
Lucky for us then, Dead Space is coming to Game Pass via EA Play, which you already have access to if you’re a PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscriber. If you’re yet to play Dead Space, strap on some headphones and turn down the lights because this is an experience you’ll want to be in full spooks mode for.
Dead Space isn’t the only thing coming to Game Pass in the next few weeks, as there’s a slew of great releases for the subscription service, courtesy of an announcement from Microsoft.
Sadly some great games are leaving the service at the end of October too, as on the 31st these are the games you’ll no longer get to play.
While Dead Space is a truly excellent addition to Game Pass, we’re losing out on the sci-fi Resident Evil-like Signalis, which channels the classic Capcom formula into something horrifying, mind-bending, and totally new. It’s also fairly short (unlike the next game I’m about to mention), so it’s well worth getting on it in the next couple of weeks.
On an ever sadder note, we’re losing Persona 5 Royal on Game Pass at the same time. This isn’t just a great JRPG or RPG, it’s honestly one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had, and a true marvel. The issue is it’ll take you at least 100 hours to finish normally, so I doubt you’ll be able to finish it before October 31. I don’t dare you to try, but you could.
If you want to see what else the subscription service has to offer then our PC Game Pass games list is all you’ll ever need. Otherwise, we’ve put together a comprehensive look at the biggest upcoming PC games on the horizon, so you can see what’ll be clogging your backlog in no time.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella now has one less milestone to worry about when it comes to his performance-based pay, as the company has dropped growth targets from the metrics used to determine his compensation. Although a LinkedIn post from September indicated that Game Pass may have over 30 million subscribers, this seemingly still falls short of the number of players the gaming giant had hoped to attract to its subscription service.
