Xbox Game Pass users have just had their August free games announced, but four titles for September have already been confirmed as well.
Xbox Game Pass’ August lineup includes the likes of Date Everything, Sandustry, and PowerWash Simulator 2, and for the most part, it’s a fairly sizable amount of offerings depending on which tier you’re subscribed to.
In addition to that, we have confirmation about four games which are set to launch on Microsoft’s all-you-can-play service next month.
As these games range from a top-down action RPG to open-world MMOs, so there’s quite a bit of variety here
Dune: Awakening
- Release Date: September 22, 2026
- Availability:Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
“Dune: Awakening is an Open World Survival game with immersive adventure and RPG gameplay. Explore, build, craft, and unravel a cinematic Dune story alone or with friends as you rise from survival to greatness on the most legendary planet in the universe. Just remember: the sandworm always comes.”
Based on the popular novels by Frank Herbert (as well as heavily inspired by the movie trilogy directed by Denis Villeneuve), Dune: Awakening came out on PC last year, before heading to console in September.
Minecraft Dungeons 2

“Drop the pickaxe, grab a sword, and charge into a thrilling new adventure in Minecraft Dungeons II. Journey through unexplored lands and mysterious locations, in a quest to stop a new evil from causing chaos in not one, but two worlds!”
The second major spin-off of the Minecraft series, Minecraft Dungeons 2, takes you to more familiar places seen across the franchise, with new enemies, items, and problems cropping up as a result.
SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed

A decade later, Speedrunners is getting a sequel, and it’ll be coming Day 1 to Xbox Game Pass. In addition to new platforming and traversal options, the game has received a major graphical facelift that is sure to win over any fans of the original.

“Live the double life of a fearless adventurer and a crafty merchant! Dive into vibrant dimensions brimming with shiny loot and pesky enemies. Grow your shop, tinker with weapons and gadgets, as well as make your mark among a ragtag community of castaways.”
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault swaps out the top-down 2D hack-and-slash elements of the first game to a 3D action-RPG style, all while still retaining the same concept. If you’ve missed out on the first game, you can also currently pick it up on Steam for free.
