Everything Coming to Xbox Game Pass in October 2022 Part 2
Xbox recently revealed the list of games joining Xbox Game Pass (affiliate link) throughout the rest of the month of October. The big highlight is probably Persona 5 Royal which I’m sure my social media timelines will be full of nonstop for the foreseeable future. In addition, Persona 5 Royal will be getting touch controls, complete with 5 unique custom layouts that change based on the scenario in game, on the same day as its addition and Slime Ranger 2 has also acquired touch controls for Xbox Cloud Gaming. What game are you excited to play?
