Xbox has announced the arrival of another batch of Game Pass games – which will hit the service in the second half of September – and this time, the main people to be happy are those gamers who like to command virtual characters and build things.

This wave of Game Pass games follows up on a game launched earlier this month that focused on lovably bored sim commuters, and is the first batch of games Microsoft is bringing to the table following all of its price changes and the introduction of the standard tier, which went into effect on September 12.

The second Game Pass listing for September includes three major new games, all of which are very appealing to those who like to spend a lot of time making edicts and building things according to their imaginations.

Developed by Chucklefish War Pattern 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC) will be coming to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on September 19, bringing with it some turn-based war gameplay that will be familiar to those who have played the game since its launch last October.

The next two are bigger games—Frostpunk 2 and Ara: The Untold History—which launch on PC on September 20 and September 24, respectively, and are available on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on the first day. Frostpunk is about building a city in a post-apocalyptic blizzard-ravaged world, while Ara is a Civilization competitor, offering its own take on grand strategic nation-building, and everyone who’s ever been nuked by Gandhi loves it.

In addition, the following movies will be discontinued on September 30:

  • Gotham Knights (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Let’s Build a Zoo (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Loop Hero (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • My Time at Portia (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • PAW Patrol Grand Prix (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • The Walking Dead: Season 1 Complete Edition (PC)
  • The Walking Dead: Season 2 (PC)
  • Valheim (Cloud, Console, and PC)

So that’s it. Have a great trip, would-be tyrants with the highest tier of Game Pass.
