Well, unless something crazy happens over the weekend or on Monday, we're officially finished with new Xbox Game Pass titles for the month of September. It's been a little quiet at times, but we've also seen some great new additions!
Perhaps the biggest highlights include the likes of Age of Mythology: Retold, Riders Republic and the two Mana games that were shadow dropped by Square Enix a few days ago - TGS 2024 definitely gave us a few surprises!
Beyond those though, some of our favourites included Star Trucker and Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, while it was a particularly good month for PC Game Pass users with the arrivals of Ara: History Untold and Frostpunk 2 as well.
So, what's captured your attention the most on Xbox Game Pass over the past few weeks? Let us know down in the poll and comments section below - and don't forget we've got Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to look forward to in October!

Wait a minute, all these games are now on Gamepass. Man havent played in about 3 months, will buy ultimate pass soon.
Trials of mana pfff
I went with Ara but Age of Mythology has also been a blast. I haven't gotten to frostpunk 2 yet but I am excited to dive into that one as well. Overall a great month.
Truthfully, not much in the way of quantity or quality this month...
Katamari smokes the rest of them like it’s nothing.
Wargroove 2 is terrific! I’ve got Age of Mythology downloaded, but there really is a lot on the backlog pile at the moment, so I haven’t played it yet.
Nothing that appealed to me or that I wanted to play 'more' than games in my backlog - so I haven't wanted to play any of these, even try any as I've been enjoying other games.
With games like CoD. Stalker 2 and Indiana Jones, there are games coming in the next few months that I am looking forward to playing on Game Pass so a 'quiet' (as in quantity of titles that appeal) month is OK. I'm sure that some will enjoy some of these games, but I think it's more a diverse collection of games than mainstream appeal...
Wasn't a month for me but good month for my backlog. Tried a few of them but nothing gripped me. Hope October is a lot better
Rare month with nothing for me. But still a good month. Man, those two Mana games will probably make some JRPG lovers happy.
I am sure there are some great games in there but nothing grabbing me yet… maybe my backlog is just too good… but I gave Riders the thumbs up
Didn't play any of them so poor month for me personally.
Age of mythology, but until mana was added a couple of days ago, it was slim pickings for console.
PC looked much stronger.
This was the second month in a row with nothing for me. And a pretty bad month all around. They are now regularly including free to play games (Overwatch this month, Valorant last month) to make the lists look longer.
Maybe things turn around, but I don't expect October to have a bunch of stuff with CoD coming. November maybe?
Trials of mana on gamepass alone warrants an A imo
U guys should try these Japanese titles. They need the support. They didn't seem like my type either until I played them. I always loved final fantasy even in the 2d days so these are sorta like that but better graphics compared to then. Just...try it u might like it of you're already subbed to gp . That's whats great about gamepass. U can try games for the hell of it and find out u really like something u didn't think u would. Gamepass to me is the best thing in gaming since...I dont even know..it might just be one of if not the best thing to happen to gaming FOR PLAYERS...ever.
Age of Mythology. I have waged so much war since it came out. Even had a few oh crap moments when the AI ganged up on me. (I usually play against 8 AI opponents for a fun challenge.)
Playing trials of mana though. Forgot how much I love that game.
It was a bad month for game pass 💩
Wargroove 2 for me as Iv got the 1st. But still need to try the mana games and age of mythology
ARA is very very good...
Question is, where does the E rating come from?
F for me.
If you average the last three it holds majority.
I see anyway.
Who knows by time it closes.
That being said what makes something an E but not an F or D?
Good month I reckon. Love Age of Mythology- great addition to the series. That one game alone outweighs the cost of my GPU sub.
@Ryu_Niiyama my man I do the same, play against 8 a.i. usually 3 on att, 3 on def and a couple of standards.
Have a great weekend all.
Ara is great I would like to try those mana games.
None at all, some payable... But all missable.
Didn't get a chance to play it yet, but AoM eventually. Huge dropoff after 1 ancient game. Very weak month overall.
@jedinite Hi, not a man.
However, I may try to work up to 10 AI if possible but I think I will get murdered. 8 seems to be the sweet spot for. Where the AI fights itself but I still get raided but not so much so that I can’t build up if I play well. Really is a wonderful revival. I need to go back to the other age of empires games but AoM was my first and still is my favorite. Happy gaming.
@Ryu_Niiyama hi, apologies for my assumption fellow gamer.. And yeah agreed its a great game. Also glad they fixed the 'cheat' mechanic, where you could just build a wall and the mobs would just stand outside and not att.
Still enjoying Riders Republic 😎 a lot of fun.
The game that I am currently playing is Like a Dragon the man who erased his name. I believe the game is scheduled to leave in November. As for Legend of Mana, I'll just play it on my Vita.
