14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass continues to expand with new titles each month, which makes the $5 monthly investment more than worthwhile. Now, for an extra $10, you get not only PC games that you can play for free, but Xbox titles as well.
For $180 per year, one gets access to dozens and dozens of great games on both PC and Xbox with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Of course, if you've already paid for Xbox Live Gold in advance for the whole year (or even more), you can always convert your subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Anyway, if you're already an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you'll be happy to know that several games are coming your way this month. Microsoft has just confirmed that at least five Xbox games will be added to the service by the end of September.
Let's start with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, a very recent game launched a few months ago, which received decent reviews. It's the spiritual successor of the Castlevania series and it was created by Koji Igarashi, the producer of Konami's Castlevania games until 2014.
Bandai Namco's Jump Force will join Xbox Game Pass too. This is a fighting game that lets you play iconic anime characters from 16 series like Dragon Ball, Black Clover, My Hero Academia, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Naruto, Fist of the North Star, Yu-Gi-Oh! and more.
As the name suggests, Dirt Rally 2.0 is a racing game developed by Codemasters, which was released back in February. This would be the thirteenth title in the Colin McRae Rally series and the seventh with the Dirt name. It focuses on rallying and rallycross, as players compete in timed stage events on tarmac and off-road terrain in varying conditions.
Bad North: Jotunn Edition is a brutal real-time tactics roguelite where players must defend their island kingdom against a horde of Viking invaders.
Finally, LEGO Worlds is a sandbox game that allows players to build constructions in a 3D procedurally generated world. The best way to describe it is a Minecraft-like game set in the LEGO universe.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Jump Force will join Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass on September 19, while the other three games will be available on September 26 on Xbox consoles.
