Xbox Game Pass Secures Retro Co-Op Brawler Mad King Redemption for September
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Xbox Game Pass is adding the indie roguelite beat 'em up Mad King Redemption to its service on September 23 for Ultimate and Premium subscribers.
Xbox Game Pass is rounding out its late-September lineup with the addition of Secret Mission's indie beat 'em up, Mad King Redemption. Scheduled to arrive on September 23 for Ultimate and Premium subscribers, the title blends classic arcade inspiration from games like Golden Axe with modern roguelite progression and 3D mechanics. The game has already built a solid reputation since its early access debut on PC earlier this year, boasting an 84 percent positive review score on Steam.
Players stepping into the fantasy action will find four distinct classes to master, ranging from close-quarters melee fighters to ranged mages. The focus on local split-screen co-op makes it an ideal pickup for couch gaming sessions, slotting neatly into a busy month for the subscription service. Alongside heavy hitters and upcoming launches, indie releases continue to anchor the value proposition of modern gaming subscriptions by giving smaller titles a massive platform.
This addition is part of the second wave of September titles arriving on the platform. Subscribers are already looking at a packed calendar that features Dune: Awakening and Well Dweller on September 22, followed by Minecraft Dungeons 2 at the end of the month. As subscription libraries continue to evolve as primary hubs for discovery, day-one and early additions like this give players plenty of reasons to keep their queues full across console and PC. Game Rant originally detailed the rollout schedule.
