Xbox Game Pass September 2026 Wave 2 Games Revealed: Full Lineup
Xbox Game Pass September 2026 Wave 2 brings 13 massive games, including Gears of War: E-Day, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and day-one releases.
Microsoft has officially unveiled the second wave of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass for September 2026, delivering a significantly beefier roster compared to the month’s initial drop. Subscription members are in for an exceptionally packed couple of weeks as the service prepares to welcome a diverse selection of 13 titles. Far from relying solely on catalog additions, this wave features four major day-one releases that promise to bring high value to subscribers across Console, PC, and Cloud platforms.
After a relatively quiet start to the month, Microsoft is putting its full momentum on display for the latter half of September and the opening days of October. High-profile blockbusters, massive tactical shooters, anticipatory survival titles, and creative indie projects are all converging in one of the strongest mid-month additions the service has seen this year.
Everything Coming to Xbox Game Pass Wave 2
The second half of September boasts an impressive mix of heavy hitters and day-one debuts. Highlighted by iconic franchises like Call of Duty and Gears of War, along with new entries in beloved series like Ninja Gaiden and Minecraft Dungeons, here is the complete schedule of titles heading to the service:
- Marvel Cosmic Invasion – September 16
- Planet of Lana 2 – September 16
- Routine – September 16
- Ultimate Sheep Raccoon – September 16
- Kernel Hearts – September 17 (Day One Release)
- Ninja Gaiden 4 – September 17
- Dune: Awakening – September 22
- Well Dweller – September 22 (Day One Release)
- Mad King Redemption – September 23
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – September 25
- Minecraft Dungeons 2 – September 29 (Day One Release)
- Keeper – October 2
- Gears of War: E-Day – October 6 (Day One Release)
Although technically unveiled as part of the September wave announcement, the final two titles extend slightly into early October. Leading the charge among the day-one arrivals is Gears of War: E-Day, serving as the ultimate centerpiece of this announcement. Fans of co-op action will also be thrilled to see Minecraft Dungeons 2 making its debut directly on the service on September 29, followed by the action-packed anime RPG Kernel Hearts on September 17 and Well Dweller on September 22.
Major Blockbusters Headline a Packed Schedule
The arrival of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on September 25 stands out as another massive pillar for this wave, expanding its availability to broader Game Pass tiers and giving FPS enthusiasts a huge reason to jump back into action. Meanwhile, open-world survival fans can look forward to exploring the harsh desert planets of Dune: Awakening starting September 22, while hack-and-slash purists can test their combat skills with Ninja Gaiden 4 on September 17.
For gamers who found the first half of the month a bit light on major releases, Microsoft has clearly addressed those concerns with an overwhelming show of force. The dense concentration of major AAA launches alongside day-one indie debuts ensures that Xbox Game Pass subscribers will have no shortage of high-quality titles to play through the end of September and into October.
