Xbox Game Pass Adds New Game Today
Xbox Game Pass keeps up its momentum for October with a new release on the service, this time with a game released not too long ago.
Until October 31, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can claim Texas Chainsaw. The 2013 horror movie, also known as Texas Chainsaw 3D, is a direct sequel to the classic 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It stars Alexandra Daddario in the lead role and once again features Leatherface going on a murderous rampage. The movie was panned by critics, but the same can be said for most of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. Fans of slasher movies may still get a kick out of it, and there's no harm in claiming it regardless.
