While few games are joining the Redmond-based company’s service, one is sure to catch the public’s attention.

As is customary, Microsoft has announced which titles will be added to the recently priced Xbox Game Pass. Already available now is Gris (console – Xbox Series, Xbox One; PC, cloud), a returning title, and from today, Starfield, which we wrote earlier in the day, is already being played by a considerable number of people, will be available to everyone on Xbox Series, PC, and cloud. Solar Ash will arrive on  September 14 (console, PC, cloud), followed by another fresh release on September 19, when Lies of P will come (console, PC, cloud). Microsoft has also reminded us of Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition (console, cloud), Call of the Wild: The Angler, and Humankind (console, cloud).

In terms of DLCs and updates, the tech giant mentioned three titles: No Man’s Sky received the Echoes update, Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island – The Quest of Guybrush is a Monkey Island collab, and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will get three months of free Minecraft Realms Plus. There are three Xbox Game Pass quests: climbing 30 meters in Human Fall Flat and having an Ultimate subscription earns 250 points; playing with Among Us earns five points, and you can earn 50 points a day for an achievement in any Game Pass game.

Games leaving on September 15: Amazing Cultivation Simulator (PC), Aragami 2 (console, PC, cloud), Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony Anniversary Edition (console, PC, cloud), DC League of Super-Pets: The Adventure of Krypto and Ace (console, PC, cloud), Fuga: Melodies of Steel (console, PC, cloud), Metal Hellsinger (console, PC, cloud), Sid Meier’s Civilization 6 (console, PC, cloud), Tainted Grail: Conquest (console, PC, cloud), and Train Sim World 3 (console, PC, cloud).

A new Xbox firmware is also coming in September: you can stream what you’re playing directly to Discord, use the new Rewards tab to see where you are in games, report content you find offensive to moderators with up to 60 seconds of voice recording, and get new VRR (variable refresh rate) options: “Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) allows your TV or monitor to dynamically adjust its refresh rate based on the frame rate of the content you’re viewing to give you a smooth, artifact-free experience while you game. However, if you’re using your Xbox Series X|S for entertainment experiences, you may not always want VRR enabled. You can now choose how you want VRR enabled on your Xbox Series X or Series S console. To select your option, go to General > TV & display options > Video, then go to the dropdown menu for VRR. You can select if you want VRR to be Always On, Gaming Only, or Off.”

It’s not a bad update.
