You can now begin downloading the first batch of October 2020's Xbox Live Games With Gold titles (one day early!), which are the Xbox One game Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut and original Xbox game Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. Both titles are available right now from the Microsoft Store (links at the bottom of the page).
Here's what you can look forward to:
Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut (October 1 - 31):
A killer puzzle game where you control Skullface, a psychotic slasher hell-bent on revenge. Slide this adorably demented murderer around hundreds of isometric puzzle levels to squash, flay, and decapitate hapless victims in this darkly comic homage to 80s horror movies.
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (October 1 - 15):
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is an original third-person action-adventure inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt. Sphinx’s journey will require bravery, agility, and special powers. He will also rely on his reluctant hero friend, the Mummy, to help him when being inconspicuous is the only solution.
You can download both games from the following links over at the Microsoft Store:
- Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut (October 1 - 31)
- Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (October 1 - 15)
Will you be downloading either of these games later today? Let us know in the comments.

@FraserG Do you know if you still have to add original Xbox games (in this case Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy) to your account via the 360 Marketplace store if you actually want to own the game (like you had to do with Armed and Dangerous)?
@LtSarge I'm not sure on this yet, but here's the Xbox 360 Marketplace link if you prefer:

Edit: Looks like this might be the case. I've updated the link in the article.
@FraserG Much obliged! I think I'll be on the safe side and acquire it that way.
I wouldn't say Sphinx is a hidden gem, but it's certainly a nice Zelda-light adventure game great for kids. It was already overlooked back in the days.
Only problem is where the hell are the Games with Gold?? Can’t find them no more 🤷♂️
@joey302 I access my full library then there's the Games With Gold link on the right. But I can never download the latest GWG games when Pure Xbox says they're available. It takes around 2 or 3 days for them to be available for me, I don't know why
@John_Deacon thanks they changed the store around but I just actually found them now but the October games are not showing yet.
What is “Pure Xbox”? I downloaded Tom Clancy game with no problem.
Also did you catch the documentary on Netflix about the story of how Queen and Adam Lambert got together? Good stuff 😊👍
@John_Deacon They always take a few days to be advertised on Xbox One, but you can get them early by either following the Microsoft Store links above or searching for the games manually on your console.
@FraserG I used to do it manually until I had a problem with Fable. It is still shown as a "Game Pass" game in my library and it's not included in the games I own section. From that point on I've preferred to get the games only when they're shown in the games with gold section
@joey302 I didnt know it was on Netflix but now that you've mentioned it, it's in my list. Thanks for the tip. Maybe this weekend I'll watch it. Nice to see this kind of option on Netflix
