Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox Game Pass September 2025 Wave 1 lineup, featuring Team Cherry's highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong as the standout title.
Kicking off today, September 2, Game Pass members can dive into I Am Your Beast (available on Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) through Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard. Here's Microsoft's official description from their Xbox Wire announcement:
"I Am Your Beast delivers a high-octane covert revenge FPS experience where you're hunted through North American wilderness by military forces - until you turn predator. Outmaneuver enemies, weaponize their own gear, and vanish into underground tunnels before they pinpoint your location in this relentless cat-and-mouse thriller."
Arriving September 3, Nine Sols (Xbox Series X|S) joins Game Pass Standard. Microsoft describes it as: "A meticulously crafted 2D action-platformer featuring Sekiro-inspired parry combat. Journey through a mesmerizing Asian-inspired fantasy realm once ruled by ancient aliens, playing as a warrior determined to overthrow its nine godlike rulers."
The crown jewel arrives September 4: Hollow Knight: Silksong (Cloud, Console, and PC) debuts day-one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. "Ascend through a haunting kingdom in this award-winning sequel. As Hornet, Hallownest's deadly protector, explore silk-woven landscapes, master fluid combat, and uncover secrets in a world where every victory comes with a melody."
