September brings a wave of exciting updates for XBOX Game Pass subscribers, as Microsoft prepares to refresh its ever-expanding library once again with a diverse mix of shooters, RPGs, fighting games, and indie gems.

In an announcement made earlier today, Microsoft revealed 6 new titles set to join the service across XBOX Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass. Subscribers can jump in immediately, as the first of these arrivals is already available starting September 1.

However, alongside the new additions, the platform will also see a significant wave of departures, including several critically acclaimed games in the catalog.
