As per GameRant, STALKER 2 will be out for the subscription-based service on Sept. 5. This is also the official release date of the game which is only exclusive for Xbox Series X/S and PC. The game is being developed and published by Ukrainian studio GSC Game World, which describes STALKER 2 as a game “set to deliver a unique action experience of survival in the post-apocalyptic Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.”

Another game coming to Xbox Game Pass but only for PC in September is the highly-anticipated turn-based strategy title Ara: History Untold by Oxide Games. The official description of the game describes it as something that incorporates “beloved classic PC strategy mechanics alongside innovative gameplay like a national crafting economy, true simultaneous turn resolution, a non-linear technology tree and cloud-backed synchronous/asynchronous multiplayer.”

A showcase for the game also aired earlier this week. Ara: History Untold is coming to the PC Game Pass on Sept. 24. Xbox console players, however, need to wait longer for the game to be playable in their platform.

Two more games complete the whole slate of titles debuting in Xbox Game Pass on September. Real-time strategy game Age of Mythology: Retold, which is a collaboration by developers World’s Edge, Forgotten Empires, Tantalus Media, CaptureAge, and Virtuos Games, is scheduled on Sept. 4. As for the simulation game Star Trucker by Monster and Monster, Xbox Game Pass subscribers should expect the title to arrive in Sept. 3.
