Xbox Game Pass New Game for September 2023: Dredge
Released back in March of this year,Dredgeis almost guaranteed to show up ontop 10 indie game listsat the end of the year. Though it starts off like a fairly unassuming fishing game,Dredgequickly devolves into a Lovecraftian nightmare, where the catcher soon becomes prey. With an incredibly simple gameplay loop that sees players venture out on their boat, catch fish, return to land, and sell their inventory for upgrades,Dredgeis a very addictive game, and its underlying horror tone makes it stand out in a sea of other great indies this year, making it a must-have for Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass New Game for September 2023: Sifu
Released back in February of last year,Sifuis one of the best indie games of 2022, and potentiallyone of the best best beat-em-up games ever made. Heavily inspired by kung fu action movies,Sifusees players block, parry, and martial arts their way through a handful of stages, each one taking place in a new location, and each one putting the player up against an incredibly challenging boss at the end. With the final free Arenas update heading toSifuon September 7, there’s never been a better time for the title to come to Xbox Game Pass.
TheRed Dead Redemptionbrand has seen its fair share of controversy in the last few weeks. After therumors of aRed Dead Redemptionremaketurned out to be a simple port to PS4 and Switch – and an expensive one at that – many fans got, rightfully, mad with Rockstar. But bothRed Dead Redemption 1and2are still excellent games, and they’re missing from the current Xbox Game Pass line-up. WithGTA 5back on Xbox Game Pass, it’s the perfect time for eitherRed Dead Redemption,Red Dead Redemption 2, or both to come to the service.
