Here we are partway through the month with the second Xbox Game Pass September update where we see five more games joining the service for the Xbox One. Xbox has decided to break out the lists into Game Pass for PC and Game Pass for Console additions but we’ll be keeping them in one post for the time being. All the games below are for Xbox Game Pass for Console but Xbox has promised more additions for PC gamers soon enough.
Of the new additions coming to Xbox Game Pass in the latter part of September, four are Xbox One X Enhanced. Of course, if you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’ll get all the games listed below.

Bad North: Jotuun Edition
Xbox Game Pass for Console, Xbox One X Enhanced
Bad North is a charming but brutal real-time tactics roguelite. Defend your idyllic island kingdom against a horde of Viking invaders, as you lead the desperate exodus of your people. Command your loyal subjects to take full tactical advantage of the unique shape of each island. Everything is at stake: fail, and watch the blood of your subjects stain the ground red.
It’s charmingly brutal, with beautiful procedurally-generated islands and adorable soldiers juxtaposed against the blood-stained realities of war. You control the broad strokes of the battle, giving high level commands to your soldiers who try their best to carry them out in the heat of the moment. It’s accessibly deep, with simple player inputs masking a dynamic combat simulation that make it inviting to new players while challenging veterans.
Keep fighting, warriors. Not for power or riches or glory, but for hope of peace to come once again in the harsh lands of the Bad North.
