Xbox Live Gold members get Slayaway Camp, Maid of Sker, Costume Quest free for October 2020

With all the attention on Microsoft’s content packed Game Pass, we do also remember that there are monthly free to download titles hitting Xbox Live Gold (and Game Pass Ultimate, which includes Gold) as well. For now at least…

The next set of season-appropriate Games with Gold titles for October 2020 are as follows:

Slayaway Camp: Butcher?s Cut  ($16.99 ERP): Available October 1 to 31 on Xbox One
Paying homage to classic ?80s trash horror, play as Skullface, an adorably demented villain, out to terrorize camp counselors and any other blocky victims he finds. New dimensions of absurd terror and over 300 fiendish puzzles await in this isometric puzzle game.

Maid of Sker ($24.99 ERP): Available October 16 to November 15 on Xbox One
Do not panic, don?t even breathe! Set in a remote hotel with a macabre and gory history, use stealth tactics to stay alive against a cult of sound-based enemies. Inspired by chilling tales in Welsh folklore, do your best to survive and brave the nightmares of the Quiet Ones.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy  ($14.99 ERP): Available October 1 to 15 on Xbox One & Xbox 360
Inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt, play as Sphinx, and his reluctant hero friend, the Mummy, as they travel the world to foil the evil plans of Set. Use stealth, agility, and special powers to find the stolen magical crowns of Egypt and save the world.

Costume Quest ($14.99 ERP): Available October 16 to 31 on Xbox One & Xbox 360
Collect super-powered magical costumes and level up your hero in the monster-filled neighborhoods of Auburn Pines. Complete numerous quests, build up your party, and take down evil in the Halloween tale that will capture the imagination of kids and the kids-at-heart.

As always, make sure to get last month’s titles before they are gone.
