There are at least five new co-op and multiplayer games being added to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service in October 2023, making it an especially strong month for games that people can play with their friends. The Xbox Game Pass service is already stuffed with co-op and multiplayer games. Some of these games have local options, but others are online-only affairs. The games being available through Xbox Game Pass at least make it so people don't have to buy multiple copies to play with their friends online - all they need is a subscription.
New co-op and multiplayer games are added to Xbox Game Pass on a regular basis. For example, the new Xbox Game Pass games for September 2023 saw the addition of multiplayer games like Party Animals and Payday 3. October 2023 is set to have its fair share of new co-op and multiplayer games, with at least five coming to the service this month and potentially more on the way.
There are two co-op additions for October 2023 that Xbox Game Pass subscribers can check out right now. This includes Gotham Knights, a co-op brawler where players can choose between various members of the Batfamily and battle the villains plaguing Gotham City, as well as the console version of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a first-person shooter game that originally released only for PC, but is making its Xbox debut through Game Pass.

- Gotham Knights - Available Now

Xbox Game Pass subscribers wanting newer multiplayer experiences will want to check out Forza Motorsport on October 10.

Racing game fans especially will want to play Forza Motorsport, as the upcoming racing game has earned rave reviews from critics.
Then on October 12, co-op gamers can play From Space with their Xbox Game Pass subscription. From Space is a co-op shooter game that originally released in 2022 to mixed reviews, but it could still be entertaining with the right group of friends.
