Something to look forward to: There is a satisfying amount of content landing on Microsoft's video game subscription service over the next few weeks. Twelve new games covering a variety of genres are being added during the second half of September, and another one is coming October 1. This marks the highest number of new additions for a month's second half since May, when 15 titles were made available.

There is something for everyone in this new batch of games, like Flynn: Son of Crimson for those looking for a metroidvania and Astria Ascending for JRPG fans, both coming to Game Pass on day one.

Also, there's Superliminal for the puzzle lovers and Phoenix Point for those who enjoy XCOM-style tactical RPGs. Most games will be available for Xbox consoles and PC, with some of them playable via streaming through Xbox Cloud Gaming. For those who haven't tried it, Phoenix Point is already available on Xbox Game Pass for PC.

Other games arriving on launch day are: Aragami 2, SkateBIRD, Lemnis Gate, Unsighted, Sable, and I am Fish.
