Six Xbox Games Are Releasing Today, Including A Substitute For Going Outside And Touching Grass (September 23) 1

It's a hump day daily roundup of all the latest Xbox games launching today.

I'm not sure if you guessed from the title, but we're a little short on games. That said, Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass subscribers are being treated to Mad King Redemption. It's an old-school brawler with roguelite elements, so I'd wager it'll find an audience with quite a few of you!

In addition, the cause for the grassy feature is Lawn Mowing Simulator 2. How exciting, eh? Now you can leaf blow, strim, and hop on a ride-on mower to cut lots of grass from the comfort of your living room. How delightful.

Alrighty, here's what launching on Xbox today (September 23):

Mad King Redemption (Xbox Game Pass) Ultimate, PC, Premium

Mad King Redemption is a unique blend of a traditional beat'em'up game with strong roguelite progression, mixed in a pixelated graphic style in a 2.5D world. Relieve the king from his madness while beating up corrupted enemies, in a fresh way at every run!

Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 (Series X|S, PC, Cloud)

Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 (LMS2) is the sequel to Lawn Mowing Simulator, which builds on the rewarding working-sim feel of the original. Listening to community feedback, and internal reflections, LMS2 will offer an expanded take on professional lawn care and use real-world equipment from manufacturer partners Kubota, SCAGⓇ and STIGA!
