TL;DR
  • Hollow Knight: Silksong finally gets a release date of September 4 as a day-one Game Pass addition across all platforms.
  • September brings six new games including the parry-heavy Nine Sols and speedrunning FPS I Am Your Beast.
  • Three games leave the service September 15 including tactical favorite Wargroove 2.

Xbox just revealed its September Game Pass lineup, and buried in the announcement is the news every Metroidvania fan has been waiting for. Hollow Knight: Silksong launches September 4 on Game Pass for Cloud, Console, and PC platforms.

The sequel to Team Cherry’s beloved 2017 indie hit arrives as a day-one addition to the service. Players will control Hornet through the kingdom of Pharloom, wielding her signature needle and silk-based abilities in what started as DLC before expanding into a full sequel.

But Silksong isn’t arriving alone. I Am Your Beast dropped today for Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S subscribers. This speedrun-focused FPS draws comparisons to Neon White with its emphasis on route optimization and chasing perfect runs through bite-sized levels.

Tomorrow brings even more action. Nine Sols lands September 3 on Xbox Series X|S, delivering what fans call a “Sekirovania” experience. Red Candle Games built this 2D platformer around precise parry mechanics and punishing boss fights that demand mastery of its deflection-based combat.

September 4 gets even busier with Cataclismo joining Silksong on PC Game Pass. Digital Sun’s castle-building strategy game blends tower defense with real-time tactics as players construct fortifications to withstand waves of enemies.

Family-friendly adventuring arrives September 10 when PAW Patrol World launches across Cloud, Console, and PC. The open-world game features co-op play perfect for younger gamers exploring Adventure Bay with their favorite rescue pups.

RoadCraft rounds out the additions on September 16 for Cloud and Xbox Series X|S. This sandbox builder focuses on crafting elaborate road networks and vehicles, offering a relaxing creative experience for players who prefer construction over combat.

Three titles are packing their bags on September 15. Wargroove 2 takes its turn-based tactical battles elsewhere, while We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie rolls away with its remastered ball-rolling chaos. All You Need is Help also departs, so co-op puzzle fans should wrap up their achievements soon.
