The October 20 ID@Xbox Showcase made Shrek 2 Remastered official: Aspyr’s remake of the 2004 co-op game launches on November 10 for $29.99, and pre-orders are open on Xbox Series X|S and Steam. Xbox also shadow-dropped Arctic Eggs and dated Mouthwashing for October 29 on Game Pass.
The IGN co-hosted show featured 21 games, eight of them confirmed for Game Pass. Below are the biggest reveals, then every announcement in one table with platforms, dates and Game Pass status, all taken from Xbox Wire’s official recap and checked against IGN’s roundup.

Shrek 2 Remastered is confirmed for November 10
Last week it was only a leaked store page (see our ID@Xbox Showcase preview). Now Xbox Wire confirms it: Shrek 2 Remastered arrives on Xbox Series X|S on November 10, 2026. It adds a Photo Mode, a Cheat Mode and rebuilt visuals. Aspyr Media’s Steam page confirms a PC version on the same date, with 4K support and four-player couch, online or mixed co-op.
- Price: $29.99 on the Microsoft Store and Steam (checked October 20, 19:30 UTC).
- Pre-order discount on Xbox: up to 20% off for Game Pass members and 10% off for everyone else, until November 9. On Steam, the pre-order price is $26.99.
- Other platforms: Gematsu reports that Aspyr’s announcement also lists PS5, Switch 2 and Switch. There was no PlayStation or Nintendo store listing yet when we checked.
According to IGN, the reveal trailer opens with a parody of Grand Theft Auto 6’s Vice City look. GTA 6 launches nine days later, on November 19 (see our GTA 6 launch trailer breakdown). IGN notes that most other games have steered clear of GTA 6’s launch window; Aspyr is sticking with its date.
Mouthwashing comes to Game Pass, and Arctic Eggs is out now
Publisher Critical Reflex brought three games. Arctic Eggs went on sale on Xbox Series X|S on show day for $9.99, the night’s only shadow-drop. Mouthwashing, Wrong Organ’s space-freighter horror game, arrives on October 29 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC and Game Pass. Critical Reflex says the game has sold more than 800,000 copies on Steam. No, I’m Not a Human follows in 2027 on Xbox and Game Pass.
On X, Critical Reflex added that Mouthwashing also launches on PS5, PS4 and Switch on October 29, and Arctic Eggs is coming to PlayStation and Switch later, with no date yet. There was no Militsioner date; it’s still listed for 2027 with Game Pass.

New reveals: Digging a Hole Together and Magenta Down
A Game About Digging a Hole Together is a co-op sequel to the beach-digging sandbox. It launches on December 4 on Xbox Series X|S, PC and Game Pass. IGN adds that Steam, PS5 and Switch 2 versions will follow later. Magenta Down, from the team behind Unto The End, is a survival adventure about crossing a radiation-soaked exoplanet to find your crew. It’s due in early 2027 (developer Xbox Wire deep dive). The other new reveals were Love Is a Roguelite, a dating-sim deckbuilder, and Waveling Island, a cozy creature collector.

The Wolf Among Us Remastered price, Zero Parades date
Telltale’s new story trailer gave the first look at Bigby’s redesigned werewolf form ahead of the October 29 launch. Later the same day, Telltale posted the price: $24.99. From October 29 to November 12, new players get 20% off, and owners of a digital copy of the original get up to 50% off. The Switch version is still waiting on a date (our Switch delay report has the background). ZA/UM’s Zero Parades: Director’s Cut comes to Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 3, with about 40,000 words of new story and full English voice-over.
