New Xbox games releasing October 6-12: Battlefield 6 is here — and the spooky season continues with this new horror game

The games just can't be stopped, with another week bringing another impressive batch of titles to the Xbox Store.

It's finally time, with Electronic Arts' (EA) Battlefield 6 arriving on October 10. This latest entry in the series has been received well so far, with praise for the focus on grounded military combat and an explosive beta that drew in hundreds of thousands of players.

Battlefield 6 has been in development for years, taking the combined efforts of multiple teams including DICE, Ripple Effect, Criterion, and Motive, collectively credited as "Battlefield Studios."

As a reminder, EA Play subscribers (including Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users) get a discount on buying it, so if you're not sure yet, that's a factor to consider.

Outside of first-person shooting, another highlight this week is Little Nightmares 3. The first entry in the series to be developed by Supermassive Games, it also introduces online two-player co-op.

Additionally, an enhanced remaster of the original Little Nightmares is also launching this week, and if you preorder Little Nightmares 3, you'll get the remaster as a free bonus!

If you missed them, be sure to check out the games that launched last week, including Square Enix's Final Fantasy Tactics. Now, here are all the new games coming to Xbox this week:
