Starfield – September 6
That’s right, Starfield – one of the most anticipated games for the past few years – will be making its way onto Xbox Game Pass day-one. Bethesda’s penchant for rich universes is taken to a very literal next step with over 1,000 Starfield planets to explore, detailed Starfield character creation, and even base-building using the improved systems in the Starfield outposts. There’s even tons of fully-customizable Starfield ships that you can pilot to traverse the vast universe.
It will no doubt be one of the biggest releases in a long time, and it can be all yours for free on day-one if you have an active Game Pass subscription. In the meantime, why not try out the best games like Starfield? You might find a new favorite space RPG.
Lies of P – September 19
Lies of P is a unique Pinocchio souls-like that gives major Bloodborne vibes, and it can be yours on day-one. With a detailed and intriguing world overrun by automatons, you play as Pinocchio as you fight through the city to solve the mystery at the heart of the narrative. Boasting the mechanical chops of FromSoftware’s ‘souls’ games, Lies of P is an incredibly engrossing game that requires your attention to master. The Lies of P length is also manageable, so you’ll hopefully still have time for the other great games on the way.

Party Animals – September 20

With an entertaining physics system and plenty of tools at your disposal, Party Animals will be a blast. It’s also another day-one release in the Xbox Game Pass September 2023 games list. With how much fun it looks, some might even place it alongside the best co-op games once it comes out.
Payday 3 – September 21
Payday 3 is the long-awaited follow-up in the intense co-op heist series. With vastly improved gameplay, bolstered by new features and scenarios, Payday 3 will get your blood pumping as you break into bank vaults and various other locations and stave off heavily-armed police. Like Party Animals, Payday 3 will also be a great experience with friends, though it’s obviously going for a much different style. So, mark down the Payday 3 release date, because you don’t want to miss it.
