Here’s all of the games that we know are coming to Xbox Game Pass September 2021. Last month was fantastic and a great set of games were added. I really enjoyed playing Skate 3 and I particularly liked revisiting the first installment, Skate.

Here’s everything we know so far aswell as some of the games we’d like to see be made available in September 2021. The top picks are games we’d love to see be made available to the membership in September or beyond!

Halo 5: Guardians

Peace is shattered when colony worlds are unexpectedly attacked. But when humanity’s greatest hero goes missing, a new Spartan is tasked with hunting the Master Chief and solving a mystery that threatens the entire galaxy.

Halo 5 is such an epic game and one that’s surely on many gamers lists of top 10 games!

Check out Halo 5 here.

State of Decay 2 + Heartland

I’ve said this before on the blog. But, It’s about time for another Zombie game on game pass. We’ve seen a fair few Zombie games on game pass in the past:

• World War Z
• Dead Rising 4
• Metal Gear Survive (meeeh)
• Resident Evil 4
• Resident Evil Revelations

Build a lasting community, working with other players or solo to overcome challenges while exploring your own unique story in a world that remembers the choices you make.
