2025 has proven to be a stellar year for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, as September 4th is set to bring the long-anticipated arrival of “Hollow Knight: Silksong” on the platform. This year alone, Xbox Game Pass has been graced with some highly-regarded, day-one releases of popular new games.
In 2025, the critically acclaimed game launch of the year, “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33”, debuted on Xbox Game Pass as a day-one title. Similarly, the beloved enigma game “Blue Prince” also made its appearance on the platform. Lately, “Gears of War: Reloaded” was incorporated into Xbox Game Pass, and for subscribers under the Ultimate tier, there are several highly anticipated games on the horizon. In fact, one of the most highly-anticipated Xbox Game Pass releases is just about to drop and is less than a week away from its official launch date.
Silksong Xbox Game Pass Release Date

- September 4 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
On Thursday, September 4, subscribers of the Ultimate tier of Xbox Game Pass can eagerly anticipate enjoying the game Hollow Knight: Silksong, without any additional cost beyond their existing subscription fee. Ever since its initial announcement in 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong has been one of the gaming industry’s most eagerly awaited titles. As developer Team Cherry remained largely silent and years went by with no announced release date, the buzz around the game only grew stronger. The rare occasions when Silksong made an appearance over the last six years included when it was confirmed to be a launch title for Xbox Game Pass at the Xbox Games Showcase in 2023.

Interestingly, the appearance of Silksong at the Xbox Games Showcase in 2023 suggested that it would be released within half a year after its presentation. However, contrary to expectations, Silksong is set to launch on September 4, 2025. This means it’s coming out much later than initially anticipated, yet earlier than some fans had speculated. Last week, a short trailer was released confirming the game’s release date and indicating that the long-awaited release is almost here, ensuring another exciting month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.

In September 2025, Hollow Knight: Silksong might just be the most anticipated new addition to Game Pass. However, it won’t stand alone, as Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is set to join Game Pass on September 17, and the console version of Frostpunk 2 – a well-received city builder – will arrive a day later on September 18. It’s likely that there will be additional Xbox Game Pass games added in September 2025, but their unveiling is yet to happen.
