September is just around the corner, and Microsoft is kicking off the month with a fresh wave of games hitting Xbox Game Pass. While this initial drop isn’t massive, it includes a highly anticipated day-one release that competitive gamers won’t want to miss, alongside additions for Game Pass Premium subscribers. However, be warned: some significant titles are also leaving the service this month, including the acclaimed Cyberpunk 2077. Let’s dive into what’s coming and going.
New Additions to Xbox Game Pass
The fun starts today with Shelldiver, a charming incremental game where you play as a turtle fishing for jellyfish and selling its catch. On September 3rd, Speedrunners 2: King of Speed arrives as a day-one release. This competitive co-op platformer now supports up to eight players online, so prepare to outrun and outjump your rivals in a race to the finish! Make sure you brush up on those level layouts – they’ll be crucial for victory.
September 4th brings Dice a Million to Game Pass Premium subscribers. This roguelike deck-building game offers hours of replayability. One of the biggest highlights this month is the addition of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on September 8th. While future Call of Duty titles might not be hitting Game Pass on day one, you can still experience this thrilling first-person shooter and immerse yourself in its tightly paced Cold War-era story centered around hunting down a Soviet agent.
If deck-building is your thing, The Royal Writ, a medieval-themed roguelike, joins the lineup on September 10th. For those who prefer something more action-oriented, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is a fantastic brawler featuring Sega’s iconic fighting game royalty, and it’s available on the same day. Rounding out the first half of September is RuneScape: Dragonwilds, a co-operative survival adventure that promises hours of challenging gameplay.
