Overview
- Microsoft published an Xbox Wire roundup on Tuesday, Sept. 1, announcing Wave 1 additions that run through Sept. 15 and naming the official schedule for new and departing titles.
- Speedrunners 2: King of Speed will arrive day one on Sept. 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War joins on Sept. 8, with RuneScape: Dragonwilds set to arrive on Sept. 15.
- Xbox’s post also lists a set of removals effective Sept. 15 that include Cyberpunk 2077, Dead Cells, Frostpunk 2, Spiritfarer and other catalog games.
- Some outlets and the Xbox mobile app report small discrepancies: Pure Xbox lists Moonlighter 2 on Sept. 2 and an 11-game departure set that names NBA 2K26 on Sept. 6, but the Xbox Wire schedule remains the authoritative source.
- The pattern continues Xbox’s regular catalogue rotation where day-one additions, tier assignments and limited-time discounts shape subscriber value and push some players to buy games before they leave the service.
