Hades returns to Game Pass on September 19

"In what's most definitely (not) the biggest Hades news of the week, the acclaimed game is coming to Game Pass. Not the long-awaited sequel, mind you, but the 2020 original. At least subscribers can catch up on the first game while waiting out the sequel's Switch exclusivity window. Hades will be available for Game Pass Ultimate, PC, and Standard tiers."

"This isn't the roguelike's first Game Pass rodeo. It was on Microsoft's service from August 2021 to 2022. It returns this September 19, the same day Hades II launches on Switch 2 and Switch. The sequel also leaves early access then, jumping to version 1.0 on Windows and macOS. It will likely arrive on Xbox (and PlayStation) at some point, but developer Supergiant is mum for now."

"On September 17, the Game Pass Standard tier will get some Call of Duty love. Although perhaps "hate" would be a better term for the largely maligned CoD: Modern Warfare III (2023). To say the game wasn't well-received would be an understatement. IGN scored it as "bad," describing its single-player campaign as "shallow," "dull" and "the worst Call of Duty single-player campaign I've played. Regardless, it arrives on the cheapest Game Pass tier after hitting the more expensive ones in mid-2024."

Hades, the 2020 roguelike, returns to Game Pass on September 19 for Ultimate, PC, and Standard subscribers. The original previously appeared on Game Pass from August 2021 to 2022. The release date coincides with Hades II launching on Switch and Switch 2 and exiting early access with a 1.0 release on Windows and macOS. Supergiant has not confirmed Xbox or PlayStation release plans for the sequel. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III arrives on Game Pass Standard on September 17 after earlier availability on higher tiers, and Frostpunk 2 becomes playable on consoles via Game Pass Ultimate on September 18.
