The second half of October is slated to be a popular one amongst Xbox Game Pass subscribers. After adding Back 4 Blood, Riftbreaker, and others earlier in the month, Microsoft today announced 11 more games coming to the Xbox, PC, and cloud platforms via its subscription programs. The wave touts heavy hitters like Age of Empires IV, Outriders, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and more.
