Next Week on XBOX: New Games for September 28 to October 2

XBox Wire details the next wave of releases landing between September 28 and October 2 across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Game Pass. The lineup mixes fresh launches, pre-orders, and a few remasters, with several titles also flagged for Xbox Play Anywhere support.

The biggest developer-facing signals are familiar but important: Gears of War: E-Day is being built in Unreal Engine 5, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered is a free upgrade for owners, and Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered is also using UE5 to modernize a legacy action game. That makes this week a useful snapshot of how publishers are extending the life of older brands while still pushing technical presentation forward.

Other notable entries include Minecraft Dungeons II on Game Pass, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve with early access for Deluxe Edition pre-orders, and a mix of smaller projects spanning hunting sims, management RPGs, puzzle games, and hand-drawn detective adventures. The spread is a reminder that platform visibility still comes from a blend of big IP, subscription placement, and genre variety.

For teams watching market positioning, the list also shows how often “remastered,” “complete edition,” and “Play Anywhere” are doing real work in the storefront. Those labels are not just marketing copy; they shape discoverability, conversion, and the expectations players bring to a launch window.
