Nine Xbox Games Are Out Today, Including (September 22) 1

It's time for another daily roundup of all the new games launching on Xbox today - hooray!

Today, we're opening things up with the two newbies for Xbox Game Pass. First up is Well Dweller, which unexpectedly is getting insane review scores right now. As it stands, the metroidvania is holding down a 91 on Metacritic. It scored a little lower for Xbox, but what an absolute bag for Ultimate and PC Game Pass members.

In addition, Dune: Awakening is available today for the same tiers, wrapping up its paid Early Access window and launching onto the service. Other games of note include sci-fi puzzle adventure Rivage and the unhinged sequel Graveyard Keeper 2 (although these aren't Game Pass titles).

So, here's what launching on Xbox today (September 22):
