Xbox players have a new reason to get excited this September, especially if they have a Game Pass subscription. A range of new titles are making their way to the paid service. While the list includes several exciting titles, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War drew the most attention.
This direct sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops is now added to Game Pass Ultimate, PC, and Premium, and players can install and dive into it without spending a single buck. If you ask what’s exciting, that’s the campaign. The game takes players into the tense Cold War era of the 1980s, with missions set across places such as East Berlin, Vietnam, and Turkey.
Apart from Black Ops Cold War, the Game Pass lineup also includes Mewgenics, Halloween: The Game, Bus Simulator 27, Culdcept The First Saturn Tribute, Honeycomb: The World Beyond, Hole in Many, and SPRAWL Zero.
Mewgenics allows players to build a team of cats for turn-based battles. On a completely different note, Halloween: The Game puts players in the role of Michael Myers or a hero trying to survive the night. Players can choose the perspective they want to experience. The other games range from driving, card games, survival, puzzles, and fast-paced shooting.

Though indie games have a separate and dedicated fanbase, beating Black Ops Cold War is still tough when it comes to the player base. The addition of the Black Ops title definitely gives Xbox Game Pass an advantage. The story of the game mixes fictional events with real-world incidents to take players on exciting yet challenging missions. For Call of Duty fans, it adds more choice without needing to buy the game separately.
The rest of the lineup also gives the service some variety. Players can switch from shooting and horror to cats, buses, puzzles or survival. This variety makes September's Game Pass lineup useful for different types of players.
Today's Xbox releases give players plenty to try. Black Ops Cold War may grab the most attention, but games such as Mewgenics and Halloween: The Game could also surprise players looking for something different.
