10 Best Games to Play on Xbox Game Pass – September 2025

Here are the best games you can play on Xbox Game Pass this September 2025. Let’s explore them in detail!

3. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition

This remastered version of the classic game brings back the brutal action of Space Marine Titus against the Ork invasion. While not as polished as its sequel, it offers intense melee combat and nostalgic vibes from the Xbox 360 era.

It’s an excellent choice for Warhammer fans and those who enjoy dark military-fantasy action games.

4. Grounded 2

Grounded 2 arrives as a continuation of the first game’s success, bringing back its unique survival-crafting concept. Unlike most survival games where players face zombie outbreaks or deserted islands, Grounded offers a different challenge: you are shrunk to the size of an ant and must battle insects, obstacles, and dangers lurking in the backyard. Although still in Game Preview, Grounded 2 has already shown significant improvements over its predecessor.

Obsidian Entertainment seems more refined in developing the game’s details. Every blade of grass you cut, every encounter with spiders, and the enhanced mutation system feel smoother and more in-depth. The survival atmosphere remains strong, but now with added shocking elements—cockroaches can feel even scarier than spiders. With its immersive atmosphere and evolving gameplay, Grounded 2 clearly delivers a fresh and challenging survival experience for gamers.

5. Doom: The Dark Ages

The sequel to Doom Eternal is more flexible than its predecessor, allowing players to stick with their favorite weapons without tight ammo restrictions. A new parry system encourages a more aggressive playstyle.

Though the legendary Mick Gordon soundtrack is missed, Doom: The Dark Ages delivers high-octane action and brutal combat. A must-play for fans of fast and intense first-person shooters.

6. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

This emotionally powerful RPG tells the story of a group of adventurers trying to stop a godlike figure, “The Paintress,” from erasing their entire generation.

The game’s combat system uniquely blends turn-based and real-time mechanics. With stunning visuals and deep characters, Clair Obscur is a strong Game of the Year contender. A must-play for RPG fans.

7. I Am Your Beast

I Am Your Beast delivers a unique experience as a short yet intense FPS. Players take the role of a fugitive hunted by the military across the North American wilderness. Instead of being the prey, the game encourages you to turn the tables: use enemy weapons and gear, hide in an underground tunnel network, and strike back with brutal efficiency.

Its gameplay emphasizes stealth, strategy, and quick execution, making it perfect for fans of tactical shooters with a revenge-driven narrative. Sessions are compact but adrenaline-packed thanks to clever level design and relentless pacing. Every small decision—whether to hide or attack—can determine survival. Available on Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S, the game is accessible to all Game Pass subscribers from day one. It’s ideal for players seeking fast, thrilling bursts of action without a long-term time commitment.

8. Nine Sols

Nine Sols is a hand-drawn 2D action-platformer steeped in a futuristic Asian-inspired mythology. It stands out with its deflection-based combat system reminiscent of Sekiro, testing both reflexes and precision. Players follow a vengeful hero on a journey through a mysterious land once ruled by an ancient alien race. The goal is to defeat nine powerful rulers known as the Sols, each offering unique challenges.

Its visuals combine traditional artistry with modern fantasy, creating a world that feels both beautiful and foreboding. Beyond combat, players are encouraged to explore expansive environments, uncover rich lore, and immerse themselves in a story filled with tragedy and intrigue.

The world of Silksong is vast, featuring diverse biomes, challenging enemies, and mysterious characters. Gameplay retains the core of its predecessor: non-linear exploration, skill-based combat, and a haunting atmosphere crafted through music and art design. However, Hornet introduces fresh dynamics with her agility, swift strikes, and silk-based tools.

With hundreds of enemies, dozens of bosses, and a deeper quest system, Silksong challenges both patience and creativity. Launching on Cloud, PC, and Console day one, it’s the biggest Game Pass release of September 2025. A must-play for both Hollow Knight veterans and newcomers who love challenging adventures.

10. Cataclismo

Cataclismo reinvents real-time strategy (RTS) with a focus on brick-by-brick fortress building. Players must construct defenses capable of withstanding endless waves of terrifying mist creatures known as Horrors. The game balances resource management, exploration, and survival defense. Every building decision shapes your chances of survival, from troop deployment to fortress design.

What makes it unique is the creative architectural element, allowing players to truly craft fortresses to match their playstyle. Cataclismo isn’t just about holding the line—it’s also about uncovering the secrets of a world consumed by darkness and mist. With its grim atmosphere and tense gameplay, it combines strategy depth with survival intensity. Exclusive to PC on Game Pass, Cataclismo is perfect for RTS fans who want something beyond large-scale battles: a strategic survival experience against overwhelming odds.
