Xbox Games With Gold for September 2021 Revealed

September 2022 · 3 minute read

Xbox will offer four free games in September – here’s what’s coming.

While Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service has somewhat eclipsed the long-running Games With Gold program, if you’re an Xbox Live Gold member then there are plenty of reasons to keep an eye on the lineup.

For one, Games with Gold don’t cycle out – as long as you’re subscribed, they’re yours, and for another, they usually include a pair of backward compatible titles from the Xbox 360 or original Xbox to get you feeling all nostalgic.

What are September’s Games With Gold?

The new Games With Gold have been revealed, and as is customary, there’s a snazzy trailer to show them off.

Here are the official descriptions, courtesy of the Xbox Wire blog.

Warhammer Chaosbane is the headline addition to Games With Gold this month

Mulaka – September 16 – October 15

In this action-adventure title based on the rich indigenous culture of the Tarahumara people, fight back against a strange foulness that is corrupting their land.

When are Games With Gold revealed?

Whereas PS Plus games are announced on the last Wednesday of the month (at least usually), Games With Gold reveals can happen at any time – even late at night or at weekends.

You can usually find the reveal posted by Xbox Live’s Director of Programming, Major Nelson on his Twitter account as well as his blog.
