Xbox Game Pass September adds Hollow Knight: Silksong and RoadCraft
TL;DR
  • Silksong leads September’s first Game Pass wave
  • Nine Sols (3 Sept) and Cataclismo (4 Sept) bolster the line-up, with PAW Patrol World for families on 10 Sept.
  • Indy DLC on 4 Sept is paid, not part of Game Pass.

Microsoft has confirmed the first wave of Xbox Game Pass titles for September. The headline is Hollow Knight: Silksong. RoadCraft lands later in the month. There are perks and a few leavers to note too. Here’s the full list, exact dates, UAE launch time for Silksong, and which tier you need.

What’s coming to Game Pass in early September

The first half of September brings six additions across console, PC and cloud. These are the dates and tiers Microsoft lists.

  • Available now: I Am Your Beast (Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X|S) — Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard
  • 3 Sept: Nine Sols (Xbox Series X|S) — Game Pass Standard
  • 4 Sept: Hollow Knight: Silksong (Cloud, Console, PC) — Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
  • 4 Sept: Cataclismo (PC) — Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
  • 10 Sept: PAW Patrol World (Cloud, Console, PC) — Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard
  • 16 Sept: RoadCraft (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S) — Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Standard

Microsoft lists each title with platform and tier, plus basic blurbs. The key takeaways: Silksong is day-one on Game Pass (but not on the Standard console tier), RoadCraft skips PC at launch for Game Pass, and Nine Sols is console-only in this wave.

Hollow Knight: Silksong — UAE release time and price

Team Cherry has confirmed global release times and the launch price. That gives a clear local time for the UAE.

  • Release date: Thursday, 4 September 2025
  • Global go-live: 7am PT / 10am ET / 4pm CEST / 11pm JST
  • UAE time (Dubai/GST): 6pm on 4 September
  • Price: $19.99 (about AED 73)
  • Game Pass: Day one on Ultimate and PC Game Pass (not listed for Standard)

The timings mean the UAE gets Silksong on Thursday evening. Pricing is set internationally at $19.99; the rough AED figure above is a straight currency conversion for guidance. The game’s Xbox page also flags “Play day one with Game Pass” for console and PC.

Perks, DLC, and what’s leaving soon

There are a few extras outside the main list, plus three games rotating out mid-month.

  • DLC: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – The Order of Giants arrives 4 Sept. It’s not part of Game Pass; members get discounts on the Digital Premium Upgrade.
  • Perk: Skate 3 – The Unlock Bundle claimable for Ultimate members from 2 Sept.
  • Leaving 15 Sept: All You Need is Help, Wargroove 2, We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie.
