On the Xbox blog, Microsoft announced the new additions to Xbox Game Pass for PC and console for September 2020. Among the new additions, gamers will have access to things on release date including the second episode of Tell Me Why.
You can also get in the Halloween spirit early by playing Resident Evil 7 Biohazard which hits Xbox Game Pass on September 3. Meanwhile, Destiny 2: Shadowkeep and Forsaken were teased for Xbox Game Pass, but we weren’t given a concrete date in regards to when they’ll be made available.
