Microsoft has officially announced the Xbox free Games with Gold for September 2021. As usual, the lineup includes two Xbox One releases and two Xbox 360 releases, though the nature of one of the Xbox 360 free Games with Gold games for September 2021 technically means that fans are getting a bonus game next month. Due to the way Microsoft release the Xbox free Games with Gold for any given month, it should be noted that the titles will become available throughout the month of September instead of all at once on September 1.
First up is Warhammer: Chaosbane on Xbox One. This game will be available to claim for Xbox Live Gold subscribers from September 1 to September 30. It's an action-RPG set in the popular Warhammer universe that features four playable classes for players to choose from. It originally released in 2019 to mixed reviews from critics. The other Xbox One game will be available from September 16 to October 15 in the form of Mulaka, an action-adventure game that similarly earned somewhat mixed reviews.

The Xbox 360 side of things is where things get a bit more interesting when it comes to the Xbox free Games with Gold for September 2021. From September 1 to September 15, Xbox Live Gold subscribers can claim Zone of the Enders HD Collection. Zone of the Enders is a third-person mecha combat franchise originally created by Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima. Zone of the Enders HD Collection includes remastered versions of both the original Zone of the Enders and the sequel, Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner in one package. The inclusion of this collection technically bumps up the number of games Xbox Live Gold subscribers get in September from the usual four to five.
And finally, the last game that's part of the Xbox free Games with Gold lineup for September 2021 is Samurai Shodown 2, which will be available from September 16 to September 30. Originally released in 1994, the version of Samurai Shodown 2 that will be available to Xbox Live Gold subscribers is the XBLA port of the game. With Garou: Mark of the Wolves currently available as one of the Xbox free Games with Gold for August 2021, classic fighting game fans have gotten a lot of value out of the Games with Gold service lately.
The Xbox free Games with Gold for August 2021 will remain available to claim until September 1, at which point most of them will be replaced by new September games, so anyone interested should claim them now while they still can.
