Microsoft has officially announced the second wave of new Xbox Game Pass games coming soon for September 2024. Wargroove 2, Ara: History Untold, and Frostpunk 2 will join Game Pass over the next two weeks, which means our list of upcoming Game Pass games grows once more. New games coming to Xbox Game Pass in September 2024September 19September 20September 24With the exception of Wargroove 2 (though it was previously rumored for the service), all of the games in this drop were previously announced for Game Pass, so the announcement feels a little lackluster. Interestingly, none of these game are coming to Microsoft’s new Game Pass tier, Xbox Game Pass Standard, which launched last week. Wargroove 2 is a turn-based tactics game that offers players an “all-new adventure, filled with unlikely friendships, unknown adversaries, and ugly revenge plots.” Wargroove 2 is currently only available on Nintendo Switch and PC, but it will be making the jump to Xbox consoles, Game Pass Ultimate, and PC Game Pass on September 19. Frostpunk 2 joins Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass for PC as a new day one title on September 20. If you’re interested in the post-apocalyptic city-builder, we recently picked up the Frostpunk 2 achievements, so make sure you check them out to see what you’ll be going up against. Finally, Ara: History Untold also joins Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass for PC as a new day one title on September 24. In this “historical grand strategy” game, you will build a nation and “lead your people throughout history to the pinnacles of human achievement as you explore new lands, develop arts and culture, and conduct diplomacy.”As a bonus, Game Pass subscribers will today receive six Overwatch 2 hero skins (Cardboard Reinhardt, Turtleship D.Va, Cyberdragon Hanzo, Street Runner Genji, Bee Mercy, and Cleric Lifeweaver) and an instant one-time grant of 30 Mythic prisms. These are free for Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Game Pass for Console members (no love for Game Pass Standard tier, unfortunately), but you will need to log in and ensure your Battle.net and Game Pass accounts are linked by October 21. Microsoft says you will also “earn ongoing rewards, including a stackable XP boost and access to Overwatch 2 Shop cosmetics from prior seasons.”As for the Game Pass casualties, ten games, including Valheim and Gotham Knights, will leave Xbox Game Pass at the end of September.
