Game Pass September Wave 2: Gears, Minecraft Dungeons II, and Dune

Xbox Game Pass is rolling out another solid batch of titles across September and into early October, giving subscribers a nice spread of things to dig into over the next few weeks.

Starting right now, RuneScape: Dragonwilds is available on the service as of September 15. A couple of days later, on September 16, you'll be able to jump into Marvel Cosmic Invasion and Planet of Lana II—the latter being a sequel that's worth keeping on your radar if you enjoyed the original's contemplative, puzzle-driven vibe.

The real marquee additions arrive later in the month. Dune: Awakening touches down on September 22, bringing the universe of Frank Herbert's epic to a multiplayer survival setting. Then Minecraft Dungeons II launches on September 29, which should appeal to anyone who wants dungeon-crawling action wrapped in the Minecraft aesthetic.

The crown jewel of this wave is Gears of War: E-Day, arriving October 6. This one's a prequel that takes the franchise back to its origins, exploring the earliest days of humanity's fight against the Locust.

All of these games are coming to Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Game Pass, so you've got flexibility in how you want to play. Whether you're drawn to competitive survival, action-packed dungeons, or the legacy of a franchise that helped define the Xbox era, there's something here worth your time. It's a solid reminder that Game Pass keeps finding ways to justify the subscription—not with blockbuster announcements every week, but with a steady, thoughtful cadence of games that span different moods and genres.
