Xbox Game Pass is heading into the second half of September with a packed lineup, as Microsoft has confirmed 14 new games coming to the subscription service through early October.
The latest wave includes six day-one releases, giving subscribers several new titles to play without waiting for them to leave the service’s launch window. The lineup also features multiple Xbox first-party games, including Gears of War: E-Day, which arrives as part of Xbox’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
Other notable additions include Minecraft Dungeons II, RuneScape: Dragonwilds and the open-world survival game Dune: Awakening.
Gears of War: E-Day Headlines the Lineup
The biggest addition is undoubtedly Gears of War: E-Day, which launches on October 6 for Xbox Series X|S, PC, cloud and supported handheld devices.
The Coalition’s latest entry takes the series back to one of its defining historical events and arrives during Xbox’s 25th anniversary celebrations. It will be available through Ultimate and PC Game Pass from day one.
The lineup also gives subscribers several other major releases to explore throughout September.
