We’re officially halfway through the month of September, and Xbox didn’t waste any time releasing its new Game Pass arrivals. The Microsoft-owned digital game platform announces its latest additions and departures twice monthly — once at the start of the month, and again around the 15th — and each reveal breaks down each day-one drop, fresh release, and Early Access beta to land on the service.
Before diving in, double-check your current Xbox Game Pass subscription tier. Because the brand’s four plans (Core, PC, Standard, and Ultimate) give players varying levels of catalog access, your plan may or may not offer all titles. Additionally, not all games are available on all platforms, so ensure the game you’re after is available on your console or PC.
