Before October rolls around, don't forget that September still has some major titles to come for Xbox Game Pass! Cocoon, Lies of P, Party Animals and Payday 3 all launch as day one additions next week, and that's still not the entire selection.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Okay (OK)

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Forza and Cities Skylines 2 is a banger month for me

 

[Punished Miku]

Best Deal in Gaming™.

• Warhammer 40K: Darktide (October 4th)

The PC version didn't exactly have the best launch from what I recall, let's see how the console version is on day 1.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Wasnt Warhammer already in gamepass? I guess only on PC. Hopefully it has crossplay.

Not interested in anything else here as I'm not into forza.

 

[M.W.]

Darktide is a good time but it was optimized like shit on PC, wonder how it'll run on Series X.

 

[adamsapple]

Yes, it launched on PC game pass, the console version was delayed. This is basically the console release date now with it also coming on console GP day 1.

 

[GeoramA]

I see my ad-blocker isn't working again.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Forza. Yes.

 

[pasterpl]

Thanks, OP updated!

 

[Heisenberg007]

Jusant is a fun game. I enjoyed the demo.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Gonna definitely play that climbing game.
I had fun with Call of the Mountain but it needed to be about 3 times larger.

 

[R6Rider]

That Mineko's Night Market game is finally releasing, huh.

 

[Deerock71]

Payday 3 might be interesting.

 

[LordBlodgett]

Too many good games. Not even close to putting Starfield down and I want to play Lies of P, Warhammer 40K: Darktide, and Forza. I also know that if I start Cities II then I'm gonna get sucked in and abandon all else.......

 

[winjer]

Darktide had a ton of potential to become one of the best games of 2020.
But optimization was terrible. Had many bugs at launch. And a focus on microtransactions.
I tried it again a month ago, but it still ran like crap on PC.

 

[Sanepar]

Great month, september and october saved the year.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

are there any games left coming in september? if there is can someone share where this info is kept?

im new to games pass

The response to the PC version had them stepping back for the last year and revamping it. The new version I believe launches on console and PC at the same time. I loved the game at launch but got bored of it quickly. Hopefully this makes it a better experience.

September 19	Lies of P

[BennyBlanco]

Damn good lineup. Wish they would improve the PC launcher. Id resub in a second. I’ll just buy Forza on Steam I guess.

 

[Elder Legend]

Solid line up.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was an announcement of some surprise at the Tokyo Games Show

PS. Best Deal in Gaming™.

It's almost guaranteed, they said as much in their official news blurb about their attendance at the event.

Players can expect to hear progress updates from Xbox and Bethesda Softworks and see a creatively diverse collection of games from creators predominantly located in Japan and across Asia. We’ll also share exciting new games coming to Xbox Game Pass, which continues to grow with great content from teams all around Asia.

[analog_future]

In for Forza, Cities:Skylines, and Juisant

 

[damidu]

did you mean se7en (sieben) games

 

[Virex]

pasterpl do you feel no shame?

 

[Bridges]

The frustrating reality of Game Pass now is that whenever I see a drop of a bunch of great games, I know I will not be able to play them all before some of them start leaving the service.

I've had Fuga Melodies of Steel installed since it dropped and now it's gone. I had Dragon Quest on the hard drive for literal years and they finally took it away from me. This month and next month are incredible but with Starfield still here, how will I manage to get to these? Plus I still have Sea of Stars.

The last couple years that lacked more than a handful of truly amazing new releases was so much better for the backlog. You never know what you got til it's gone

 

[Mister Wolf]

I wish Fat Shark would make a single player first person game in the Warhammer 40K or Warhammer Fantasy universe. Their in house engine produces nice visuals.

Traditionally they do that. Totally forgot.

Is Darktide a L4D-like?

 

[adamsapple]

Is Darktide a L4D-like?

From what I understand via wikipedia, yes it is a 4 player co-op game but it also has a story element.

 

[twilo99]

Too much content..

Nice. Game Pass has been a drag this year but it is started to pickup this month. I need more co-op games.

 

[rkofan87]

jusant is the one i am looking at i love off the wall indie shit.

 

[manfestival]

Darktide is a fantastic game. Can't wait to play with the new playerbase being added

 

[ungalo]

I have a last minute hype for Forza. Previews are encouraging.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

In for Darktide. Nice.

 

[Havoc2049]

The Lamplighter's League looks like it could be great. Forza will most likely be great. Darktide looks like it has potential as well. Too many games and not enough time.

 

[acm2000]

Jusant and Forza for me, and see what else they have unannounced that pops up.

 

[Black_Stride]

That is a hell of a lineup

 

[xrnzaaas]

Lamplighters League looks like my kind of game, but I already have other titles so it's gonna have to wait.

I'm definitely playing (and potentially buying a copy of) Forza.
