Key Takeaways
- Wargroove 2, Frostpunk 2, and Ara: History Untold are coming to Xbox Game Pass in the second half of September 2024.
- While Wargroove 2 has so far only been available on PC and the Switch, the game is seemingly getting an Xbox console port on September 19, which will be a day-one XGP release.
- New XGP members will have to subscribe to PC Game Pass or the Ultimate tier of the service to play these upcoming titles due to them being day-one releases.
As a seasoned gaming enthusiast with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the upcoming lineup for Xbox Game Pass is truly exciting! From the mud-filled adventures of Expeditions: A MudRunner Game to the adrenaline-pumping Riders Republic, there’s something for every taste.
In the latter part of September 2024, two additional titles including “Wargroove 2,” will be added to the Xbox Game Pass collection. This latest addition will increase the total number of games released on Xbox Game Pass this month to a grand total of eight.
Microsoft regularly introduces updates to its XGP library in successive waves, approximately every fortnight. Their latest wave was launched at the start of September 2024, which included five new games. The most recent addition from this batch, “Train Sim World 5”, became available on Xbox Game Pass today, specifically on September 17.
Xbox Game Pass Confirms New Wargroove 2 Console Port
In an exciting turn of events, just moments ago, Microsoft unveiled the next wave of September 2024 XGP games. This lineup includes titles like “Wargroove 2”, “Frostpunk 2”, and “Ara: History Untold”. I wasn’t taken aback by this list, as “Ara” and the sequel to “Frostpunk” were already announced for day-one release on the service. The leaked news about “Wargroove 2” making its Xbox Game Pass debut was shared by Spanish YouTuber eXtas1s, who unfortunately got the month wrong – it’s September, not August. However, today’s announcement does hint at an Xbox console version of “Wargroove 2”, which is currently available only on PC and the Switch. Another intriguing detail from this announcement is that Microsoft has confirmed Chucklefish’s asynchronous strategy game, “Wargroove 2”, will be accessible to both PC and console subscribers.

Wargroove 2 is scheduled to reach the service on September 19, and will be followed by Frostpunk 2 a day later. Ara: History Untold is then set to arrive on September 24.
Microsoft has made some updates to its Xbox Game Pass tiers, meaning that new subscribers can only access the upcoming trio of games if they opt for the Ultimate or PC Game Pass edition. Essentially, day-one releases are no longer part of the basic tier, now known as XGP Standard. However, existing Xbox Game Pass for Console members will retain their benefits, such as access to day-one titles, provided they continue to renew their subscriptions and remain in the updated system.
Despite eXtas1s being correct that Wargroove 2 will arrive on Xbox Game Pass, the YouTuber’s prediction that September 2024 would be a significant month for the service appears to have been inaccurate. Specifically, the leaker recently suggested that Microsoft intends to add 19 new games to its library this month, but thus far, only eight have been officially announced. Conversely, ten games are scheduled to depart from Xbox Game Pass at the end of September 2024.
