Here is an overview of the games:
September 19
- Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Xbox One X Enhanced) – An exploration-focused, side-scroller action RPG packing all the best features you’ve come to know and love from the metroidvania genre into a single, content-packed game. Play as Miriam, an orphan scarred by an alchemist’s curse which slowly crystallizes her body. In order to save herself, and indeed, all of humanity, she must battle her way through a demon-infested castle summoned by Gebel, her old friend whose body and mind has become more crystal than flesh.
- Jump Force (Xbox One X Enhanced) – Some of the most famous Manga heroes are thrown into a whole new battleground: our world. Uniting to fight the most dangerous threat, the Jump Force will bear the fate of humankind. Create your avatar to fight alongside powerful Manga heroes in an original story mode, or head to the online lobby to challenge other players and discover tons of additional modes and activities.
September 26
- Bad North (Xbox One X Enhanced) – Bad North is a charming but brutal real-time tactics roguelite. Defend your idyllic island kingdom against a horde of Viking invaders as you lead the desperate exodus of your people. Command your loyal subjects to take full tactical advantage of the unique shape of each island. Everything is at stake: fail, and watch the blood of your subjects stain the ground red.
- DiRT Rally 2.0 (Xbox One X Enhanced) – Carve your way through a selection of iconic rally locations from across the globe, in the most powerful off-road vehicles ever made, knowing that the smallest mistake could end your stage. Rely on your instincts with the most immersive and focused off-road experience yet, and power your rally car through real-life off-road environments in New Zealand, Argentina, Spain, Poland, Australia and the USA, with only your co-driver and instincts to guide you.
- LEGO Worlds – An open environment of procedurally generated worlds made entirely of LEGO bricks which you can freely manipulate and dynamically populate with LEGO models. Create anything you can imagine, one brick at a time or use large-scale landscaping tools. Drop in prefabricated structures to build and customize any world to your liking then watch your creations come to life through characters and creatures that interact with you and each other in unexpected ways.

Kinda pissed about Bloodstained being added. Updates comtaining free content to backers have been delayed, and $100+ tier backers still have not received physical rewards, months after release. But go ahead and prioritize gamepass, which you wouldnt have needed to do had the Switch port (the version with the most financial prospects) not been a mess at launch.
I don't mind them prioritizing moving to new platforms, but putting your $30 game on a cheap subscription service like game pass only a few months after launch? Seems like a slight to all the early buyers.
Imagine being $100+ backer who still hasnt seen everything, or even most of what they've been promised. Tired of backers and day one buyers not being prioritized. Gave Iga some leway when the release was bungled but at this point, I'm very disappointed in him and his team. I get that they dont have AAA money behind them but the multiple errors made are reminiscent of AAA woes people complain about.
then you better hope that it gets downloaded like crazy
You do [not] understand that Bloodstained is one of the most successful kickstarter games and as such has quite a lot of backers. The delay for the physical extras is justified, even if not ideal. The amount of stuff they need to produce alongside their partners is huge.
They may be late, but they will keep their word.
Just be patient.
Weird complaints. It doesent take any effort to add something to Gamepass. MS gives them money and it happens. This is why the service is popular, because they launch games on it and notable content maybe added months after release. That includes the latest Metro and DMC games.
Well I'm gonna play Bloodstained.
