15 biggest gaming releases in September 2025 for PC, PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2
By Ryan Woodrow
Even though it was a more packed summer than usual, the lull of releases is over, and we’re heading into September with a huge lineup of great games on the horizon, and it’s just going to get wilder the deeper we get into the year. This month sees some long-awaited titles finally make their debut alongside a couple of highly anticipated DLCs, and of course, there are always a few smaller titles that are worth your time between the giants.
We’ll break down all of the biggest games releasing in September 2025 so you don’t miss any of it.
Hirogami – September 3
Platforms: PC, PS5
Starting off with something a little smaller, Hirogami is a 3D action-platformer where you’ll be navigating through a papercraft world as a hero made of origami. It features the ability to fold yourself into various different creatures to complete the many challenges the game will throw your way, and it looks absolutely beautiful.
Hollow Knight: Silksong – September 4
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
Well, you have to give it to Team Cherry, it knows exactly what it has on its hands, giving us radio silence for seven years, then showing up and telling us the game is out in just two weeks. It’s arguably second only to GTA 6 in terms of hype for an upcoming release, and it is so close now that we can taste it.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: Order of Giants DLC – September 4
Platforms: PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S
One of the smash hits of last year is coming back with its new DLC. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle came out last December and blew everyone away with its fun action and puzzle-solving gameplay that made it feel like a proper classic Indy adventure. We’re in for more now as we get to explore the secrets of Rome, as we uncover more about the mysterious giants from the main game.
Hell Is Us – September 4
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
This one has flown under the radar a bit, but soulslike fans might find it interesting, as it’s a slow-paced, combat-focused action RPG that prides itself on its unforgiving world. It mixes supernatural creatures with some sci-fi elements in a post-apocalyptic world where you have to fight hard just to survive.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion – September 5
Platforms: PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S
It’s time for more frantic mech battles in this sequel to the 2019 Switch exclusive, only now it’s coming to all current-gen platforms, and the scope is bigger. The main selling point this time around is that it has up to three-player co-op, so you can challenge the game’s huge bosses with friends as you build your arsenal of mechs.
NBA 2K26 – September 5
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
We’re still in the season of sport game releases, and NBA is the next to take to the court, with NBA 2K26 coming out on September 5, though if you buy the deluxe edition, you can get access right now.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Legacy of the Forge DLC – September 9
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
Another DLC for a big hit of a game from several months ago, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 did a great job of bringing a more realistic approach to open-world RPGs, set in a realistic historical setting instead of fantasy. To that end, the Legacy of the Forge DLC focuses more on Henry’s natural craft: Smithing, although there’s sure to be an adventure in store alongside it.
Borderlands 4 – September 12
Platforms: PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S
Borderlands is back, and it promises to have plenty of what fans of the series like, though hopefully it will have a little more innovation than the previous entry. Either way, it’s a fun world with loot-shooter gameplay that you don’t see all that often anymore, and that seems to be a very comfortable niche for the series to fit into.
Lego Voyagers – September 15
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S
This game wasn’t revealed all that long ago, but after seeing its features at Gamescom, it looks to be a dark horse hit of the year. This is a co-op-only puzzle-platformer where you play as two little Lego bricks who dream of going to space, and to get there, you’ll need to assemble bricks in a variety of ways to reach the stars. If you’re looking for something shorter and cozier, this is your best bet.
Dying Light: The Beast – September 19
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
The more the Dying Light series goes on, the less it’s about using parkour to avoid zombies, and the more it’s about smashing those zombies in the face. Whether that’s a good thing or not is up to you, but Dying Light: The Beast allows you to do both, jumping from rooftops to explore the open world (with up to three friends), and going into Beast Mode to smash some undead to bits.
Slime Rancher 2 – September 23
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
After roughly a couple of years in early access, the sequel to indie hit Slime Rancher is officially hitting 1.0 on PC and releasing on both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This sequel has a whole new set of islands to explore with new slime types, foods to farm, and secrets to uncover as you dive deeper into the game’s mysteries and keep your slimes happy and producing profits.
Silent Hill f – September 25
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
It’s been a long time coming for the latest fully new entry in the Silent Hill series, but Silent Hill f has all the signs pointing in the right direction for this to be a great survival horror that capitalizes in the renewed interest in the series Silent Hill 2 Remake established. Playing as a Japanese school girl has never been so terrifying as you face your classmates and tormentors twisted into horrific monsters.
Sonic Racing: Crossworlds – September 25
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
While most Sonic racing games have been relatively underwhelming, Crossworlds might finally be the one to buck that trend, looking like an action-packed kart racer. It’s attracted a lot of attention thanks to its weird and wild crossover characters that will be added post-launch, including Joker from Persona 5, SpongeBob SquarePants, Minecraft Steve, and Hatsune Miku. Smash Bros eat your heart out, I guess.
EA Sports FC 26 – September 26
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
More sports. You already know if you want this or not, we’re not going to try to sell you.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles – September 30
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S
The remaster of the original Final Fantasy Tactics is dropping at the end of the month, giving you the option to play the game the classic way or with updated graphics and mechanics. While the updated graphics aren’t the best, especially compared to spiritual successors like Triangle Strategy, the updated gameplay options should be good for modern players, allowing them to make the game easier if they wish.
