just the thing to get you leading bayonet charges and sniping unsuspecting soldiers in no time.

Available on October 21, the Xbox One S Battlefield 1 Bundle includes a white 500GB console as well as a code to download the digital version of the game. But you won’t be stuck just playing one game — also included is a month of EA Access, which grants you full access to games like Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, Titanfall, and Battlefield 4. Your progress will be saved should you choose to extend your membership beyond the one-month trial.

United States residents can also purchase a “Storm Grey” package, which includes all the same contents as the white bundle but in a different color. Both bundles will retail for $299, and are available to pre-order right now.

If you’re willing to hand over a little more cash, you’ll want to consider the “Xbox One S Battlefield 1 Special Edition Bundle” instead. It contains a beautiful olive drab 1TB Xbox One S with a matching stand and controller, as well as the “Early Enlister Deluxe Edition” of Battlefield 1, which grants players access to the game a few days before its official release. To top it off, the bundle also includes three DLC packs, “new visual appearance” for the giant Behemoth vehicles, five Battlepacks, and a month of EA Access. It will launch on October 13 — a week before the game releases — for $350.

Should you buy any Battlefield 1 Xbox One S console bundle at GameStop, you’ll be given a physical copy of the game instead of a code. Battlefield 1 releases for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on October 21.

Microsoft has announced that the next Xbox Partner Preview will take place in just a few days. It promises a 25-minute presentation featuring both new and announced games from teams such as Remedy, Sega, 505 Games, and more.

3 new Xbox Game Pass games to play this weekend (October 11-13)
A screenshot from Inscryption.

We're in somewhat of a lull for Xbox Game Pass right now. While Xbox heavily marketed Metaphor: ReFantazio and launched Persona 3 Reload into its subscription service earlier in 2024, Metaphor:ReFantazio is not on Xbox Game Pass on day one. Thankfully, an all-timer of a horror indie game came to the service this past week, just in time for Halloween. Some other great RPGs also arrived during Tokyo Game Show 2024, so you can check those out on Xbox Game Pass if you're looking for something new to play on the subscription service.

Inscryption - Announcement Trailer (2020)

If you're looking for something spookier to play on Xbox Game Pass this month, then Inscryption is the optimal choice. This indie game became critically acclaimed upon its release in 2021 because of how it wasn't afraid to blend genres and break the fourth wall as players try to break out of a card game they're playing in a remote cabin. It's best to go into Inscryption unspoiled, so I'll just recommend you check it out via PC, One Xbox Series X/S, or Xbox Cloud Gaming with your Game Pass Ultimate subscription. It's also on PlayStation 4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch.
