Hades returns to Game Pass on September 19

The acclaimed game Hades is returning to Microsoft's Game Pass service on September 19, the same day the sequel Hades II launches on the Nintendo Switch. The original Hades, released in 2020, will be available on Game Pass Ultimate, PC, and Standard tiers. This isn't the first time the game has been on the service, as it was previously available from August 2021 to 2022. Meanwhile, on September 17, the Game Pass Standard tier will receive the latest installment in the Call of Duty franchise, Modern Warfare III (2023), which has received poor reviews, with IGN describing the single-player campaign as "shallow," "dull," and "the worst Call of Duty single-player campaign I've played." Additionally, on September 18, Game Pass Ultimate members will be able to play the post-apocalyptic city-builder Frostpunk 2 on Xbox Series X/S and via cloud streaming. The game was already available on PC for Game Pass Ultimate members.
