October is here, bringing with it some of the biggest video games of the year. If you have a PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, or PC, you'll be eating just fine this month. This month is particularly big this year because most of the rest of the seaons's biggest games fled November to escape the shadow of GTA 6.

Read on to see release dates for all the biggest games and expansions coming out this month and beyond.
