Xbox Game Pass content and promotions

Overview

Microsoft is expanding the Xbox Game Pass library through the summer and early autumn of 2026. In late July and mid-August, the service added various titles including The Planet Crafter, the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake, and the highly anticipated Beast of Reincarnation from Game Freak.

Moving into September, the catalog additions include Shelldiver and Virtua Fighter, alongside a ten-hour trial for NHL 27. Additionally, Microsoft introduced a promotional incentive offering 5 Euro in store credit for customers who pre-ordered Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 via the Xbox App or Microsoft Store.

As of early September, the confirmed lineup for the month includes Shelldiver (September 1), SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed (September 3), Dice a Million (September 4), Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (September 8), The Royal Writ (September 10), and Virtua Fighter 5 R. E. V. O. World Stage (September 10). RuneScape: Dragonwilds is scheduled for arrival on September 15. New details indicate that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War features a solo campaign set during the early 1980s involving political conflict in locations such as East Berlin and Vietnam. Furthermore, the asymmetrical horror game Halloween: The Game is slated for launch on September 8, and EA SPORTS NHL 27 is scheduled for release on September 11.

Ten games are scheduled to depart the service on September 15: Cyberpunk 2077, Commandos: Origins, Cricket 24, Dead Cells, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, Frostpunk 2, Mullet Madjack, Spiritfarer, Superliminal, and Train Sim World 5. To mitigate these departures, subscribers are typically offered a 20% discount to purchase the titles individually. Additionally, TCG Card Shop Simulator is set to transition from Game Preview to its full 1.0 version on September 15.
