October 25, 2026. Xbox’s coming week has several ways to spend the run-up to Halloween, from a supernatural investigation to science-fiction horror. These are upcoming releases, not reviews or claims that the games are already playable.
According to the October 23 Xbox Wire lineup, the following three are scheduled for October 27–29. Xbox notes that release dates can change.
October 27: The Séance of Blake Manor
This investigation places players at an Irish manor in 1897 to search for a missing woman. Interviews and evidence drive the mystery. Xbox lists Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere support.
October 29: Mouthwashing
A stranded space-freighter crew provides the setting for this first-person psychological horror game. The weekly lineup lists Xbox Play Anywhere, but does not give this entry a Game Pass label. Do not assume every game in the roundup is included in a subscription.
October 29: Terrible Lizards
This horror adventure takes place at a roadside dinosaur attraction in 1992, with a missing child and an unexplained telephone voice at the centre of the setup. The listing includes Game Pass, Smart Delivery and Xbox Play Anywhere.
Check before buying or downloading
Use each game’s linked store page to confirm your device, region, subscription eligibility and launch time. Read the content and age-rating information too: a seasonal horror pick is not necessarily suitable for everyone sharing the console.
