Unleashing Epic Adventures: Xbox Game Pass Welcomes Four Spectacular Day-One Launches This Month!

Microsoft has announced the next set of Game Pass additions for September, along with some titles set to release in early October. There are some notable games coming, including four new releases available right from the start in the second half of September.

One of the day-one releases on Game Pass is the Souls-like Pinocchio game, Lies of P. It has received positive reviews overall, including an 8/10 rating from Our Website's review. Additionally, there is another day-one release called Party Animals, a whimsical battle royale game where players transform into animals and fight until only one person or team is left standing. Party Animals will be available on September 20.

Payday 3, the latest installment in the co-op FPS series, will be released on September 21st. This exciting heist-themed game takes place in New York City. Additionally, on September 29th, a new game called Cocoon will be launched. Created by Jeppe Carlsen, the lead designer of Limbo and Inside, this eerie puzzle game introduces unique "world-leaping" mechanics. In October, Game Pass subscribers can look forward to playing Gotham Knights and The Lamplighter's League, both available on October 3rd.

In addition to that, there is also a series of games being removed from the Game Pass catalog in September. Taking into account both the new additions and removals, a total of nine games will be departing the Game Pass library this month.

Furthermore, September has been an exceptionally significant month for the Game Pass catalog and the broader Xbox ecosystem. Microsoft's highly anticipated release, Starfield, has already made its debut on Game Pass, marking it as the biggest Game Pass launch of 2023. Additionally, Microsoft also introduced Game Pass Core, making it a momentous occasion for both the catalog and the Xbox platform as a whole.
