After introducing games like Disney's Dreamlight Valley and Metal Hellsinger earlier this month, as well as quite a few more during TGS 2022, Xbox continues to bring even more titles to Game Pass throughout September.

Game Pass, Xbox's subscription-based service, is undoubtedly the best deal in gaming currently. It offers hundreds of amazing titles across both Xbox consoles and Windows PCs for a fixed monthly fee. The titles range from AAA blockbusters debuting Day 1, to niche indie titles, finding new audiences and a reinvigorated interest.

With that being said, let's take a look at what else Xbox has in store for its subscribers for the second half of September 2022

September also sees the full release of Grounded, Obsidian's microscopic survival title that adds a story mode for this release.
