5 Best Games Coming To Xbox Game Pass In September 2025

From a fan’s point of view, I must admit the buzz surrounding Xbox Game Pass’s long-term sustainability has been quite intense recently. But let me tell you, as a subscriber myself, Microsoft’s gaming service has never seemed more enticing! In 2025 alone, Game Pass has delivered an astounding lineup of titles, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, South of Midnight, 33 Immortals, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Eternal Strands, Avowed, Grounded 2, Atomfall, Doom: The Dark Ages, FBC: Firebreak, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and a refreshed version of Gears of War: Reloaded. And that list only scratches the surface, focusing solely on Day One games! Needless to say, as a subscriber, I’ve been feasting on some truly exceptional gaming experiences.

Thus far, the selection of games scheduled for September 2025 on Game Pass appears to be a strong contender for the year’s top lineup, which is quite an accolade. A handful of titles have already been included, with more confirmed to follow; it’s even possible that Microsoft will unveil additional additions in the second half of the month. Given the volume of games, let’s spotlight the month’s standout new arrivals, including one of the most highly-anticipated indie games of the year.

We are covering all of September 2025, so even games that have already been added to Game Pass.

I Am Your Beast

Frantic FPS Game Added To Game Pass On September 2

Since a different game launched on Game Pass only two days after it, “I Am Your Beast” largely went unnoticed this month and isn’t likely to be remembered as the standout newcomer. However, if you’re in the mood for high-octane, frenetic action that works great for quick gaming sessions, you won’t find many better choices on Game Pass. Although it does have a story, it plays more like a backdrop, serving primarily to justify your character’s rampage of arcade-style carnage. As a super soldier, you’re tasked with completing missions swiftly and brutally, which often entails annihilating a horde of enemies as efficiently and spectacularly as possible.

I Am Your Beast” never slows down, pushing you to keep moving, shooting, stabbing, and causing explosions without pause. It might not be profoundly complex, but it’s pure, unadulterated fun that caters to your speedrun cravings. Go ahead and download “I Am Your Beast“; I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

2025’s Biggest Indie Game Debuted On Game Pass On September 4

As a hardcore gamer, let me tell you, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the gaming landscape in September 2025. But

Now, Team Cherry dropped a bombshell when they announced that not only was the long-awaited sequel coming out on September 4, but it would also be available on Xbox Game Pass. That news was nothing short of earth-shattering, and Silksong has managed to do what seemed impossible: it’s lived up to the hype!

Indeed, the game presents a challenging experience with some debatable mechanics, yet these issues are relatively insignificant. You might mitigate them using mods for the game Silksong, even in its PC Game Pass version. Silksong, being Hollow Knight’s successor, maintains its beauty, eeriness, captivating nature, and ambition. It offers a campaign that continues the legacy of its predecessor without resorting to repetition. The new character, Hornet, starts off modestly but gains strength as she masters novel skills that elevate combat to an exceptional level. The platforming is finely tuned, while the levels are intricate yet delightful to traverse. Silksong may not be flawless, but it comes very close.

RoadCraft

Driving Sim Coming To Game Pass On September 16

Each release has its unique flavor, yet some games are tailored to distinct preferences. For instance, Saber’s “RoadCraft” revolves around managing a firm specializing in navigating and reconstructing damaged terrains, requiring the appropriate vehicles for success. It is a simulation game from the developers known for creating MudRunner, SnowRunner, and Expeditions: A MudRunner Game.

_If you find the idea of RoadCraft appealing, then you don’t need me to convince you – just get ready for its arrival on Game Pass. On the other hand, if it doesn’t pique your interest, this game might not be suitable for you. If you tend to feel overwhelmed by projects like this but are open to giving new ones a try, RoadCraft could be worth considering because it’s less complex and harsh than something like SnowRunner._

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor

Addictive Roguelite Coming To Game Pass On September 17

After spending quite some time in its early access phase, the standalone version of “Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor” will officially be released on September 17. This launch coincides with the unveiling of the Xbox Series X/S edition as well. While “Deep Rock Galactic” is renowned for being one of the top cooperative games available on Game Pass, the new version, “Survivor“, offers a unique twist. It’s an auto-shooter isometric roguelite designed specifically for single-player gaming.

In essence, the game DRG: Survivor might appear distinct from its larger counterpart upon first glance, but it shares many similarities under the hood. Both games offer clearly defined character classes and a rewarding progression system that introduces fresh mechanics as milestones are achieved. The gameplay combines automatic combat with an ongoing resource mining requirement for upgrades, which bears a striking resemblance to Deep Rock Galactic. If you’re already a fan of DRG, Survivor is definitely worth your time. If you haven’t played DRG yet, it’s high time you gave both games a try. Even if you don’t particularly care for DRG, give Survivor a shot anyway.

Frostpunk 2 (Xbox Series X/S)

The Best Survival City-Builder Comes To Xbox Game Pass On September 18

For about a year now, Frostpunk 2 has been available on PC Game Pass, making it no longer a fresh debut. Yet, 11 Bit Studios is set to launch the console version on September 18, offering the game exclusively to Xbox users. Typically, city-building games perform better on PCs compared to consoles, but the original Frostpunk managed a smooth transition. To maintain the quality established by its predecessor and address some technical issues in the PC version, 11 Bit Studios has spent time ensuring that the sequel’s console port will be of high quality when it releases.

In the world of gaming, stepping into Frostpunk 2 feels like a whole new adventure compared to its predecessor. Instead of managing a compact city with a handful of citizens, you’re now tasked with overseeing multiple colonies brimming with thousands of people!

This shift in scale gives the game a unique twist that borders on 4X strategy territory. But remember, just because you loved the original doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll fall head over heels for this sequel. However, both games offer captivating strategic experiences that stand on their own merits. So buckle up, fellow gamer, and prepare for an epic journey!
