With today's Halloween-themed Game Pass update comes the news of a brand new Xbox release! This reveal is flying under the radar a little because prior to the Game Pass roundup we knew nothing about a port, but Amnesia: Rebirth is making its Xbox debut this week, after two years as a PS4 & PC exclusive!
Frictional Games' latest horror adventure takes players to the Algerian desert, where survival in such a hostile environment is a pretty tall order. Rebirth mixes what made the seminal Amnesia: The Dark Descent so memorable with more of a story focus, akin to Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.
In Amnesia: Rebirth, you are Tasi Trianon, waking up deep in the desert of Algeria. Days have passed. Where have you been? What did you do? Where are the others? Retrace your journey, pull together the fragments of your shattered past; it is your only chance to survive the pitiless horror that threatens to devour you.
Speaking of those two older Amnesia titles, the pair of them are also hitting the Game Pass library on the very same day as Rebirth, along with Amnesia: Justine, when the Amnesia: Collection comes to the service on October 20th.
The horror doesn't stop there either. Frictional Games is rounding things out by also bringing Soma to Game Pass on October 20th as well, making this one of the scariest Game Pass drops we've ever witnessed!
Will you be trying out any of these spooky adventures on Game Pass this week? Let us know down below.

Couldn't really get on with its predecessors. Is this any good? Or more of the same? It looks pretty good!
I'm tempted to give this a try, but I have a personal prejudice against games that stay platform exclusive for more than a year.
Yes, it's irrational, yes, I might miss some good games because of it, yes, I might even miss out on FF7 when it launches complete on Xbox in 2033, but I don't mind.
@Kaloudz Hmm, what didn't you like? Rebirth is a bit more puzzle-y and has a more involved storyline compared to the sometimes-vague-wandering of the older games. It might be worth a shot, I'll be putting a review up on it around release anyway!
Yeah, finally I can play Rebirth. And people, you need to play SOMA, it's absolutely incredible
Cool. I couldn't play on PC for long. K/M controls hurt my hands
@Kezelpaso Hey! It just didn't really "click" with me. I think I just felt a bit lost half the time, and can't really say that it scared me much. If, though, there's more puzzle focus this time round, I'll check your rev and give it a bash. Thanks chief!
Looking forward to this. I still need to get through the Amnesia Collection. Scrounging for matches though.. ugh..
@Zucaritas Been wanting to play Soma for ages! It looks so good.
