Xbox Game Pass is quickly becoming the go-to for gamers everywhere. Every month, new and exciting games drop on the service, some of which are available on launch. In general, the back catalog of games available is seriously impressive, and that isn’t likely to change any time soon. In fact, September’s early slate of additions has a few incredible games already.
Xbox Game Pass Adds Hollow Knight Silksong and More
It is a really good time to fork over the $20 monthly subscription price for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. That is the reported price to purchase Hollow Knight Silksong, but it’s also the subscription cost to gain access to Silksong on launch as well as hundreds of other incredible games.
That includes some slated to arrive on Xbox Game Pass around the same time. Within the month, Game Pass users wll get access to Roadcraft, I Am Your Beast, Cataclismo, Paw Patrol World, and Nine Sols. Silksong is obviously the highlight here, as it’s one of the most anticipated games of the year and has been for a very long time, so subscribers are itching to get their hands on it in just two days.
That’s not all, though. Game Pass is expected to add several new titles that could be really good in the coming weeks and months, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, Subnautica 2, Witchbrook, Fable, High on Life 2, and Routine.
Game Pass was once seen as a losing effort for Xbox. It cut into sales for all of the games that went on it on launch, and subscription prices didn’t seem to be enough to offset that for Microsoft. It was cool that it gave access to big titles on day one, but it didn’t seem like it was going to stick around.
However, through Microsoft’s commitment to it, it has become profitable and is one of the best parts of the company. Their dedication to getting big games and having an exceptional catalog of games to play has paid off, and it will likely continue to do so as long as they keep getting games like Hollow Knight Silksong or Black Ops 7 on launch.
Xbox Game Pass Has an Incredible Library
If you were on the fence about getting Game Pass, get off the fence and subscribe. It’s the perfect subscription for gamers.

Conclusion
Nintendo Switch Online has classic games in a back catalog, and PlayStation Plus has free big games every month, but neither quite compare to the mastery of Game Pass. Xbox has nailed it, and the fact that such big games are coming in September is a testament to how hard they’ve worked to get this off the ground and reward gamers in a big way.
