So we are finally hitting that time of year when the big releases come rolling in. Last month we had some bangers like Arkane's Deathloop for the PS5 and Warioware on the Nintendo Switch. However, October has its own set of heavy hitters that I think warrant some excitement. Regardless of whether your main platform is Nintendo Switch, Playstation or Xbox I can assure you there's going to be something worthwhile picking up this month. For example this October we will finally be seeing the release of EA's new edition of FIFA which will be taking advantage of those next-gen technologies provided by the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Meanwhile on the Nintendo Switch we're getting back to playing as Samus with Metroid Dread.
This blog will be showing all the things to look forward to this October when it comes to the world of gaming, highlighting every big release on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch. We will also provide the best available price for each platform to save you both money and time!

Metroid Dread was announced for Nintendo Switch back at E3 2021 and was such a delightful surprise for the avid fans of Metroid series as the much anticipated Metroid Prime 4 had its development restarted.

Players on Nintendo Switch can pick up this big exclusive on October 8th alongside the new Nintedo Switch OLED model.

Square Enix is having another go at creating a Marvel game follow the release of Marvel's Avengers last year, this time using the much-beloved Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, clearly lending some of the personality from the MCU versions. This space-adventure will be a single-player experience, where the player will pilot Star-Lord and his crew through what I imagine to be hijinks filled with excitement and humour and hopefully a banging soundtrack whilst you do it. Grab it on October 26th for PS4, PS5, Xbox and PC.
