There's been a lot of hype and anticipation surrounding the release of Back 4 Blood on Xbox Game Pass, and subscribers can pre-install the game ahead of time, with the release set for next Tuesday, October 12.
You're looking at a download size of around 34GB (on Xbox Series X), and you can start the download by finding Back 4 Blood in the 'Coming Soon' section of the Xbox Game Pass app on your Xbox One, Series X or Series S:
Not been keeping in the loop? Essentially, Back 4 Blood is Left 4 Dead 3 in all but name, and its recent beta period was well-received by the vast majority of Xbox fans (we had a fun time with it as well!).
The game is actually now available in Early Access for owners of the Deluxe or Ultimate Editions, but everyone else will have to wait until Tuesday. Fortunately, you'll be able to get started immediately at 12:00AM local time.
Will you be checking out Back 4 Blood when it launches on Game Pass next week? Tell us below.

I was a little late to the Left 4 Dead party back in the day. Any old fans think this will be worth trying? I'm not normally a fan of online play but something about this still seems intriguing to me.
@pip_muzz It's ok but the L4D3 comparison everyone uses doesn't seem to actually fit. They've definitely designed it with too much modern influence and it lacks VALVe's magic/polish. I'm not saying it's bad but it's not a true L4D3 as you'd imagine VALVe would make.
I cant wait! This and Metroid Dread drops the same week and Im very excited for both of these games.
@RavenWolfe81 Valve cannot count to 3. We'll have to make do with B4B.
Of course it supports Keyboard/Mouse right?
Otherwise I will not even bother downloading it.
Preloaded and ready to go
@RavenWolfe81 You're right. It isn't like what Valve would make because they don't release games with 3 in their title.
@pip_muzz I’ll give a slightly different impression. I played a heck of a lot of Left 4 Dead and thought this game nailed the feeling completely. I thought it was really fun and I can’t wait to play more of it.
Why isn't there an upgrade path to the Ultimate Edition for Game Pass subscribers like Forza Horizon 5?
Hopefully I don't have the same connection issues as I did with the beta. That sucked bad that I had to reconnect many times just to play.
@Originut we could pay for the base game if it ever left the service.
