It’s already out on PC, but the excellent Baldur’s Gate 3 is making its way to PS5 this September. For those of us who have been waiting to enjoy this epic RPG on console, the time is almost here – and we can’t wait.

Starfield

• 6th September (1st September with early access)
• Xbox Series X/S and PC

Perhaps the biggest release of the year – or at least up there amongst them – Bethesda’s Starfield is almost upon us. Opt for a fancy edition of the game and you’ll get early access, letting you play from 1st September. Standard edition owners (or Game Pass players) can jump in from 6th September. Either way, we’re looking forward to exploring the galaxy.

NBA 2K24

• 8th September

Fae Farm

• Switch and PC

Fancy a farming sim with a magical twist? If you’re a fan of cosy games, Fae Farm should be high up on your must-have list for games releasing this September. This adorable adventure throws you into a new town, with a farm to build up, villagers to help, and a mysterious story to uncover.

Nour: Play With Your Food

• 12th September
• PS4, PS5 and PC

Honestly, we don’t know a great deal about Nour: Play With Your Food. It’s a sandbox all about doing crazy stuff with delicious-looking food, and that’s about all we need to know, really. We just know we’re going to get really hungry while playing.

Eternights

• 12th September
• PS4, PS5 and PC

Eternights is an action game about dating set in the apocalypse. Yes, we’re as mystified by that description as you are, but it’s only made us more eager to jump in. Look out for coverage from us in the run-up to launch.

Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster

• 14th September

Fancy jumping into a classic adventure? Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster bundles together the original Baten Kaitos games – Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and Origins – in one collection. Whether you’re a newcomer or a longtime fan of the franchise, it promises to be worth jumping into.

The Crew Motorfest

• 14th September (11th September with early access)
• PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC

The third entry into Ubisoft’s open world racing game series looks to be the best yet. The Crew Motorfest promises a wealth of cars and events for players to dive into, as you take part in a motor festival. Hmm, sounds familiar: Forza Horizon, anyone? Still, we love arcade racers, and we’re looking forward to jumping into this.

Mortal Kombat 1

• 14th September
• PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PC

We’re just a couple of weeks away from Mortal Kombat 1. Don’t let the 1 in the title fool you: it’s very much a new entry in Netherrealms’ long-running fighting game series, but it marks a new start. You can read more about the game in our preview here, but needless to say it’s going to be a must-play if you’re a fan of FATALITIES.

AK-Xolotl

• 14th September
• PS4, PS5, Switch and PC

An axolotl with an AK-47? Sign us right up. This twin-stick shooter might be the perfect blend of cute and gory, and we can’t wait to unleash chaos when it releases on 14th September.

Ad Infinitum

• 14th September
• PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC

Ad Infinitum is another game that we don’t know a great deal about, but it has us seriously intrigued. It’s a psychological horror game set in the trenches of World War I. That’s already a pretty terrifying place to be, then, but it seems like our German soldier protagonist has their own horrors to deal with, too.

Payday 3

• 18th September
• PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC

It’s almost time to rob some banks. Payday 3 is the third entry into the multiplayer heist simulator series, letting players team up, mask up and crack some safes. If you’ve got some friends to play with, this promises to be great fun.

Lies of P is one for Soulslike fans. Telling the story of Pinocchio like you’ve never heard it before, Lies of P casts you as a puppet equipped with weapons ready to go up against the horrors of the dark city you find yourself in. You can find out more about the game by reading our preview here.
