Xbox Game Pass already has four confirmed games for September 2026, with Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault and SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed joining the previously announced Dune: Awakening and Minecraft Dungeons 2.
Moonlighter 2 arrives on September 2 as it leaves Early Access and makes its Xbox Series X and Series S debut. SpeedRunners 2 follows one day later on September 3 across Xbox Series X and Series S, PC, and cloud.
The September lineup is still likely to grow, but these announcements provide an early look at what subscribers can expect next month.
Four Xbox Game Pass games are already confirmed for September
Microsoft has not yet announced the complete September Game Pass schedule, so the current list should be treated as an early lineup rather than the final selection.
| Game | Date | Platforms / status |
|---|---|---|
| Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault | September 2 | Xbox Series X and Series S debut |
| SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed | September 3 | Series X and Series S, PC, Cloud |
| Dune: Awakening | September 2026 | Previously confirmed |
| Minecraft Dungeons 2 | September 2026 | Previously confirmed |
Moonlighter 2 and SpeedRunners 2 are the latest additions to that list.
SpeedRunners 2 had previously been expected as part of the July Game Pass lineup before being delayed. Its new September date now gives the competitive platformer a confirmed place in the service.
Moonlighter 2 launches on Xbox September 2
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault will arrive on Xbox Series X and Series S on September 2 alongside its full version 1.0 release.
The game combines action based exploration with shop management. You play as both an adventurer exploring dangerous dimensions for valuable items and a merchant who sells those discoveries through a growing shop.
The sequel also includes weapons, gadgets, loot collection, and a community of castaways that forms part of its wider progression.
Its September launch will be especially notable for Xbox players because this is the game's first release on Xbox Series X and Series S.
Moonlighter 2 had already been available through Early Access elsewhere, but September 2 marks its move into the full release stage.
SpeedRunners 2 arrives September 3
SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed launches through Xbox Game Pass on September 3.
The sequel keeps the competitive platform racing structure of the original while expanding online matches to support up to eight players.
Players race through specially designed stages while trying to stay ahead of their opponents. Movement, map knowledge, grappling hooks, and power ups all play an important role, with competitors eliminated when they are pushed too far off screen.
The game supports both online and local competition.
| SpeedRunners 2 feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Release date | September 3, 2026 |
| Online players | Up to 8 |
| Multiplayer | Online and local |
| Key mechanic | Competitive platform racing |
| Equipment | Grappling hook and power ups |
| Game Pass platforms | Xbox Series X and Series S, PC, Cloud |
The September date follows an earlier delay that prevented SpeedRunners 2 from joining Game Pass in July.
September is starting to take shape early
The addition of these two games gives September a broader mix of genres before Microsoft has even revealed the full monthly lineup.
Moonlighter 2 offers action, exploration, loot collection, and shop management, while SpeedRunners 2 focuses on fast competitive multiplayer.
Dune: Awakening and Minecraft Dungeons 2 are also already confirmed, giving the month four known Game Pass releases so far.
More titles are likely to be announced closer to September as Microsoft publishes its usual Game Pass waves.
For now, September 2 and September 3 are the first specific dates to watch. Moonlighter 2 will make its Xbox debut on the second, followed immediately by SpeedRunners 2 on the third.
