Valheim joins PC Game Pass in September, plus Deathloop and Moonscars

To close out September, Microsoft is bringing nine new titles to PC Game Pass, with the most notable game being Valheim. Iron Gate AB’s popular survival game boomed in popularity last year, quickly becoming one of the most played games on Steam.

The third major title coming to PC Game Pass is Moonscars, an upcoming Metroidvania that releases on September 27. It will be available on PC Game Pass on day one. Developed by Black Mermaid, it promises to push players through an “unforgiving nonlinear 2D world,” filled with relentless darkness.

Joining Valheim, Deathloop, and Moonscars on PC Game Pass are six more games with four being available on day one of launch. Beacon Pines, Slime Rancher 2, and SpiderHeck will all be added to PC Game Pass on September 22 .
