Expectations were high as October 2022 was the very first month where Xbox Live Gold will NOT be including Xbox 360 games for the first time and basically we were astonished, but not in a good way.

Only TWO games were announced:

Windbound (from Oct 1-30)

Washed up on an uncharted island, you must use your will and skill to survive! Play as Kara, shipwrecked on the Forbidden Islands with nothing but what you can build or find. You’ll need to craft weapons and tools to survive. Spend time building a new boat which you can use in an immersive tactile sailing experience to reach the other islands. Explore the hidden history of each island to unlock their mysteries. Enjoy this delightfully surprising game that takes the survival genre in a totally new direction.

Bomber Crew Deluxe Edition (October 16 - November 15)

Listen up fliers! We’re recruiting you to take on extremely high-risk missions in this World War II strategic flying and bombing game. Once you’re up in the air, danger is everywhere. It’s up to you to manage the fuel, ammo, and hydraulics while trying to avoid enemy gunners. Even the weather can bring you down. Keep your crew safe and focused and bring home victory. Bomber Crew Deluxe Edition includes the original Bomber Crew plus the Secret Weapons and USAAF DLC, so there’s plenty of flying to be done.

So, two games and with this date setup, probably November we are bound to just 1 game and I am just hoping that Mcirosoft proves me wrong but definitely we might be seeing the beginning of full transitioning to Game Pass, a true premium tier for Xbox and nothing else.
