Xbox Game Pass Adds Starfield, Lies of P, and More in Massive September Update

Xbox Game Pass is closing out the summer with a bang as Microsoft unveils its biggest month of 2024 yet. For September, subscribers can look forward to a triple-A lineup headlined by the long-awaited addition of Starfield, the debut of Lies of P, and a selection of indie and AA gems that promise something for every type of player.

After years of anticipation, Bethesda’s Starfield has officially joined Xbox Game Pass as a day-one release. Described as “Skyrim in space,” the sci-fi RPG places players in the boots of a custom-created explorer navigating a galaxy teeming with factions, planets, and deep narrative choices. Early reviews praise the game’s expansive world-building and innovative ship customization features, marking it as a major win for both Xbox players and Game Pass itself.

Also joining the service this month is Lies of P, a dark and twisted reimagining of the Pinocchio tale through the lens of soulslike gameplay. Developed by Neowiz Games, Lies of P has captured attention for its haunting atmosphere, rocking combat mechanics, and unique blend of storytelling and challenge. Game Pass users can experience the gothic action RPG on release day, continuing Xbox’s strong partnership with indie and international studios.

Other noteworthy titles in the September lineup include indie hit Solar Ash, the time-bending platformer Cocoon, and the cult-favorite roguevania Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania DLC. These additions show Microsoft’s recurring strategy of mixing big-budget exclusives with diverse indie titles to ensure wide appeal across its growing subscriber base.

The move signals Microsoft’s continued commitment to making Xbox Game Pass a central pillar of its gaming ecosystem. With Starfield and Lies of P symbolizing huge adds to the catalog, and smaller titles rounding out the experience, September sets a high bar for what fans might expect in the months ahead. If there was any doubt about Game Pass being the best deal in gaming, this month’s lineup aims to put that debate to rest.

Subscribers can access the new titles starting this week on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and via cloud gaming where available.
