September Game Drops 2025: What’s Worth Your Time + What’s Worth Calling Out

September 2025 has signed off, but that doesn't mean it didn't leave behind games that are worth playing! These games range from long-anticipated sequels to bold indie experiments, and we wanted to make sure you didn't miss them. So here’s a curated look at the September 2025 releases.

 Epic Adventures + Storytelling 

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Platforms: Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC – Released September 4

The wait is finally over. Team Cherry’s long-anticipated sequel landed with a thunderclap, and it’s every bit the Metroidvania masterpiece fans hoped for. Hornet’s journey through Pharloom expands the formula with fluid combat, layered quests, and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.

Silent Hill f

Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC – Released September 25

Konami’s boldest Silent Hill entry in years takes the series to 1960s Japan, blending psychological horror with folklore-inspired visuals. It’s unsettling, cerebral, and deeply atmospheric.

 Shooter Highlights + Multiplayer Mayhem 

Borderlands 4

Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC – Released September 11

The looter-shooter returns with a new vault-hunting crew and a fresh world, Kairos, under the thumb of The Timekeeper. Gearbox promised a more balanced tone, and it shows—humor is still there, but the story finally takes itself seriously. Sign me up for over the top humor.

NBA 2K26

Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Switch – Released September 5

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander headlines this year’s edition, and while the gameplay polish is undeniable, the monetization model continues to frustrate.

 Survival + Horror 

Dying Light: The Beast

Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC – Released September 18

Techland takes the zombie apocalypse to rural farmland and swampy thickets. The open-world traversal remains a highlight, and the new “beast” mutations add fresh tension.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

Platforms: Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC – Released September 30

Square Enix’s enhanced edition of the tactical classic closes out the month with a bang. Updated visuals, rebalanced mechanics, and Switch 2 optimization make this a strategy lover’s dream.

 Indie Darling + Quirky Surprises 

Bad Cheese

Platforms: Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC – Released September 1

A bizarre platformer that’s equal parts gross-out humor and clever mechanics.

Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island

Platforms: Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC – Released September 1

Cozy mythological adventure with Stardew Valley vibes.

 What’s Worth Your Time? 

If you're seeking a well-round gaming experience, these pics deliver across genres:

•  Hollow Knight: Silksong for rich artistry and precision platforming

•  Borderlands 4 for chaotic co-op action with loot-driven progression

•  Silent Hill f for a slow-burning psychological horror with a folklore twist

•  Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles for grid-based strategy with political intrigue

September 2025 came in with enough to deliver exploration, skin crawling survival, explosive co-op action, and metroidvania action locked in with great storytelling. This lineup covers all bases!
