Lovers of video games and connoisseurs of new digital experiences undoubtedly are familiar with Xbox Game Pass, the perpetually evolving gaming subscription from Xbox. The Xbox Game Pass umbrella envelopes a variety of services and platforms, and grants players access to hundreds of incredible games with one monthly subscription. The best part? Xbox Game Pass is always adding brand-new titles for players to explore.
Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and the all-encompassing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate each provides numerous perks to subscribers, including unlimited access to the best Xbox Game Pass games and many more. It’s often considered to be one of the greatest values in the video game industry, and Xbox is intent on driving that idea home with new additions to the services every single month.
Xbox Game Pass is available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One consoles. PC Game Pass is available on Windows PCs. Xbox Cloud Gaming grants remote access to hundreds of titles on practically any device through streaming. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, as the name implies, is the quintessential subscription that includes all the aforementioned services and Xbox Live Gold, exclusive perks, and EA Play access. With new games arriving all the time, it can be easy to lose track of new additions.
Here’s every single game coming to and leaving Xbox Game Pass right now. If you want the complete list, be sure to bookmark our ultimate guide to every game on Xbox Game Pass.

Best new Xbox Game Pass games: September 2022
You’ll rarely go wrong with the diverse selection of games on Xbox Game Pass, but there are always a handful of titles that stand above the rest — including, but not limited to, exceptional indie games, addictive multiplayer games, expansive AAA games, and Microsoft’s first-party titles and projects. These are the best new games that have recently arrived on Xbox Game Pass that you shouldn’t hesitate to play.
- Available: Sept. 15 (Xbox Series X|S Optimized, PC, & Xbox Cloud Gaming)
Metal: Hellsinger combines an epic metal soundtrack composed by Two Feathers (and featuring a roster of legendary guest metal vocalists) with the slick, action-packed FPS gameplay of the DOOM franchise. It’s epic and guaranteed to start you headbanging, and it’s now available through Game Pass on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and through the cloud.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
- Available: Sept. 15 (Xbox Series X|S Optimized, Xbox One, PC, & Xbox Cloud Gaming)
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey employs the modern RPG mechanics of the franchise in a new locale inspired by Ancient Greece. It’s impressively detailed and absolutely gorgeous, and is considered by many to be the best Assassin’s Creed title in recent years. Now, you can experience this Greek adventure through Xbox Game Pass on Xbox consoles and the cloud.
IMMORTALITY
- Available: Aug. 30 (Xbox Series X|S Optimized, PC, & Xbox Cloud Gaming)
IMMORTALITY is an incredibly directed, decidedly original indie game that throws players into a convoluted mystery that can only be solved by obsessing over a trio of beautifully acted movies. There’s no other game quite like IMMORTALITY, and it’s a day one addition to Xbox and PC Game Pass.

Upcoming games launching on Xbox Game Pass
Microsoft gives us updates on games heading to Xbox Game Pass a few weeks before those games become available, usually twice a month. However, Xbox and ID@Xbox events toss aside this expectation to announce a flurry of games that are hitting Xbox Game Pass day and date, meaning they’re launching into the service when they land on Xbox platforms. That means day one access to all of these games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, including some of the best upcoming Xbox games.
Many of these games are far enough out that they don’t even have a release date, and we’re not certain exactly which platforms they’ll come to through Xbox Game Pass. Still, this list in our Xbox Game Pass guide will give you an idea of what to look out for in the future of Xbox Game Pass. We’ll constantly update this list as we get new information about release dates, when games become available, and what platforms are getting them.
In case you missed it, over 30 games coming to Xbox and PC Game Pass on day one were presented during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022. You can view the full list of additions below.
