Highlights

  • Xbox Game Pass' September 2024 lineup is already looking stacked.
  • The September 2024 lineup includes Frostpunk 2, Star Trucker, Age of Mythology: Retold, STALKER 2, and Ara.
  • Out of these, STALKER 2 is the headliner and is one of the most highly-anticipated Game Pass games of the year.

While it's still a few months away, September 2024 is looking to be a particularly exciting month for those subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass service. Release date announcements for day one Xbox Game Pass games give subscribers a good idea of what to expect from one month to the next, even before Microsoft makes its official announcement.

It's thanks to release date announcements for day one games that Xbox Game Pass subscribers already have a pretty good idea of what's coming in July 2024, despite the fact that the official rundown has yet to take place. There are five games coming to Xbox Game Pass in July 2024, including Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn and Capcom's Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. There were originally six games coming to Game Pass in July 2024, but the previously planned Frostpunk 2 has been delayed to September.

Xbox Game Pass Adds New Game with Positive Reviews

Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass get access to a new game which already gathers hundreds of positive reviews on Steam.

Frostpunk 2's release date delay is a blow for the July 2024 Xbox Game Pass lineup, but it has made September 2024 even more stacked than it already was. The current September 2024 Xbox Game Pass lineup is Star Trucker on September 3, Age of Mythology: Retold on September 4, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl on September 5, Frostpunk 2 on September 20, and Ara: History Untold on September 24. What makes the September 2024 Game Pass lineup even more impressive is when one takes into account that this isn't even the full lineup of games; almost assuredly, there will be a variety of other games joining the service in September as well.

List of Xbox Game Pass Games for September 2024

  • Star Trucker - September 3
  • Age of Mythology: Retold - September 4
  • STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl - September 5
  • Frostpunk 2 - September 20
  • Ara: History Untold - September 24

Frostpunk 2 is a highly anticipated city-builder and the follow-up to one of the most critically acclaimed indies of all time, so it being part of the Game Pass September 2024 lineup is huge in and of itself. However, there are other reasons for Game Pass subscribers to be interested in September 2024. Age of Mythology: Retold and Ara: History Untold are two Xbox Game Studios-published games, which make them especially exciting, especially for fans of strategy games, while the biggest game coming to Game Pass in September 2024 is arguably STALKER 2.

STALKER 2 was one of the very first games ever revealed for Xbox Series X. A stunning, first-person shooter survival-horror game, STALKER 2 has been hotly anticipated ever since it was first revealed to the masses. The game looks more impressive every time that we see it, and it should provide significant value for Xbox Game Pass when it releases on September 5.
