Xbox Game Pass has several day-one launch titles planned for the month, and Train Sim World 5 will be the third to join the list on September 17. Star Trucker kicked things off on September 3, and the remastered graphics and gameplay of an RTS classic followed shortly after with Age of Mythology: Retold. And when they launch on September 20 and 24, respectively, Frostpunk 2 and Ara: History Untold will round out the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate day-one additions, at least for now.
The generous offering of five day-one launch titles throughout the first half of September may be a bitter pill for some gamers, though. In the eyes of many, Xbox Game Pass recently got worse, despite the tantalizing games being added to the catalog. Not only did another price hike go into effect for current subscribers on September 12, but the Standard subscription tier just replaced Xbox Game Pass for Console. Standard doesn’t offer day-one launch titles, and there are dozens of games that are now only available for Ultimate subscribers, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Diablo 4, and Forza Motorsport.
