Coming to XBOX Game Pass: RuneScape: Dragonwilds, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed, The Royal Writ, and More

Xbox Game Pass is rolling out a broad September lineup across cloud, console, PC, and handheld, with several day-one additions and a few notable exits. For developers, the most interesting beats are the launch of RuneScape: Dragonwilds on September 15, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed on September 3, and The Royal Writ on September 10, alongside Shelldiver being available immediately.

SpeedRunners 2 arrives as a competitive platformer sequel with support for up to 8 players online, cross-play, and rollback netcode. Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage also joins on September 10 with cross-play, rollback, and enhanced training/replay tools, which keeps the spotlight on netcode quality and onboarding features as core selling points for multiplayer games.

The month also includes TCG Card Shop Simulator leaving Game Preview and launching 1.0 on September 15, while EA Sports NHL 27 gets a 10-hour EA Play trial on September 4. On the other side of the ledger, Game Pass loses 10 titles on September 15, including Cyberpunk 2077, Dead Cells, Frostpunk 2, Spiritfarer, and Deep Rock Galactic Survivor.

For teams watching subscription strategy, this is another reminder that Game Pass remains a discovery channel for both smaller indies and established franchises. The practical takeaway is straightforward: launch timing, platform coverage, and multiplayer infrastructure still matter a lot when a title is competing for attention inside a rotating catalog.
