The Xbox Games with Gold for September have been revealed by Xbox, and it's a decent list of games.

The headliner this month is definitely Tom Clancy's the Division, which is an older shooter looter from Ubisoft that built up a substantial following of loyal players, and was succeeded by the Division 2. The Division will be available the entire month of September for Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

The other games are de Blob 2, which will be available from September 1 to September 15, Armed and Dangerous, which will be available from September 16 to September 30, and the Book of Unwritten Tales 2, which will be available from September 16 to October 15.

The best Xbox value is definitely Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which bundles Xbox Live Gold (including its monthly free games) and Xbox Game Pass for both console and PC, which features over 100 games in a subscription-style package, starting as low as $1 a month.
