| Saturday–Sunday, October 17–18 | The cited roundups do not establish a complete dated slate for these days; that does not mean no games are releasing. |
Why Ratatan has two listed dates
Xbox Wire lists Ratatan for October 14, while Nintendo Australia lists it for October 15 and describes it as a rhythm roguelike action game. The sources do not explain the discrepancy, so treat each date as tied to its respective listing rather than assuming one universal launch date.

How to interpret the calendar
- Dates can change: Xbox Wire’s October 9 roundup says release dates are subject to change. Nintendo Australia says its dates were accurate at publication. Neither statement guarantees that a date remains current.
- New releases, early access and updates are distinct: PC Gamer labels No Such Place and Online: 404 as early access and identifies Enshrouded as receiving a 1.0 update. These are different release types, not all ordinary first launches.
- Check the platform and local store: Xbox Wire’s roundup covers Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox on PC and Game Pass, while the other calendars have their own platform scope. Check the current regional storefront for the platform, price and availability that apply to you; prices and complete platform availability are not established here.
- This is a selection, not an exhaustive calendar: the sources differ in scope, and the PC Gamer calendar is editorial rather than an official complete release register.

Xbox Wire’s October 9 roundup covers October 12–16 and includes descriptions and service labels. Nintendo Australia’s October schedule is a selected regional listing. PC Gamer’s October PC calendar provides a broader PC cross-check, including early-access launches and updates.
